I know most of the stories but I have never heard about The Wild Swans or The Fire Bird. I liked the story Cinderella the most and not just that I like the way she has written the story she indeed used lots of adjectives in all the 12 stories.
About Berlie Doherty:
Berlie Doherty born 6 November 1943 Liverpool UK. She is best known for her children's books, for which she has twice won the Carnegie Medal. This is the first book I am reading of hers I hope I find other books that Berlie Doherty has writen so I can read them. I really enjoyed this book and I recomend this for people who are interested in Fairy Tales.
Wow what a lot of fairy tales Tanvi!!! She must of took a long time writing them . I like like your post .
ReplyDeleteYes, thank you Tanvi - that was an informative post. Is the Firebird story a Russian one? I have a beautiful Russian illustrated version of it somewhere! I enjoy reading this kind of collection of folk stories. I've got a favourite one called World Tales that has 65 stories in it - most of them less familiar to us.
ReplyDeleteI'm not really sure if the Firebird is the russian version Mr Gregg.
