650 g; 240 pages, last page blank, the text is illustrated with charcoal style drawings for whom I could find no credit. Colour illustrated dust jacket. The dust jacket has a 0.5 inch tear at the lower left-hand corner of the front panel, and has the original bookseller's sticker on the lower edge of the rear panel.

This collection of over 30 storeys, legends and folktales reflect the season around Easter and early summer in the northern hemisphere. For younger children, folktales from all around the world illustrate at a deeper in imaginative level the theme of sacrifice and the triumph of love and loyalty over adversity. We also find the recurring motif of the Resurrection, in which the character throws off an outer skin and emerges in a new, truer and shining guise. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
