Then one day, he agrees to help a jackdaw return a ruby ring to a princess... King Beetle Tamer is just one of fifteen magical wonder tales in this collection by master storyteller Isabel Wyatt. The stories are full of magic and unicorns, fairies and palaces, roses and gold, which will transport children to a world of faraway places and heroic deeds. Suitable for children aged seven and up, this is a classic collection from the author of The Seven-Year-Old Wonder Book. A new revised edition, previously published as King Beetle-Tamer. |
