Who can resist a good story, especially when it's being told by Grandma? From her bag emerge tales of kings and cheats, monkeys and mice, bears and gods.

Meet a bear who ate some really bad dessert and got very angry; a lazy man who would not put out a fire till it reached his beard; a princess who was turned into an onion; a queen who discovered silk and many more weird, wonderful people and animals.

Featuring gorgeous illustrations and a new introduction by the author, this special keepsake edition brings to book lovers an old favorite in a stunning new look.
