| Publisher Description: PLA/ALLS Best New Books for New Adult Readers Selected for The Elementary School Library Collection Storytelling World Award Traditional stories from the oral tradition, endure generation after generation because--although they are not literal--they resound in timeless truths on a human scale. These 27 folktales from award-winning author, Heather Forest, remind us of wisdom so elemental it is often lost in the rush of everyday life, so that "sometimes common sense makes no sense at all." Wonder Tales also marks the second installment from award-winning author Heather Forests's trilogy: Tales from Around the World series. |
