Legendary storyteller Stephen King goes into the deepest well of his imagination in this spellbinding novel about a seventeen-year-old boy who inherits the keys to a parallel world where good and evil are at war, and the stakes could not be higher - for their world or ours.Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student.

This terrific compendium includes fairy tales that have been enjoyed by generations of children. Today, reading these traditional tales aloud is still the best way to experience them. From The Twelve Dancing Princesses to Rumpelstiltskin, this timeless collection of much-loved and magical fairy tales is sure to delight child and parent alike. Adapted by Liz Scoggins.
Hans Andersen`s evocative stories blend wit and pathos, his light but shrewd touch revealing the selfishness and stupidity of man. In "The Emperor`s New Clothes" it takes a child to point out the Emperor`s foolishness and his excess of pride eventually makes him a laughing stock. His stupidity is therefore punished, just as the modesty and good nature of "The Ugly Duckling" is justly rewarded in the end. Andersen`s fresh and vivacious tone illuminates all of the old favourites in this selection - which include "The Little Mermaid", "The Princess on the Pea", "The Tinderbox" and "The Snow Queen". Формат издания: 11 см х 18 см.

Eight of the twelve tales in this book are from the master hand of Charles Perrault (1628-1703). Although Perrault enjoyed much distinction in the French literary circle of the late seventeenth century, his fame today rests upon his authorship of the traditional `Tales of Mother Goose`, or `Stories of Olden Times`. And it is true to say that as long as there are children to listen spellbound to the adventures of `Cinderella`, `Red Riding Hood`, and that arch rogue `Puss in Boots`, his memory will endure. Three of the tales, `The Ridiculous Wishes`, `Donkey-Skin` and `Patient Griselda`, are seldom included in Perrault collections as they were written in a very florid verse form. Not only Perrault, but Boccaccio, Chaucer and others have...
