The Elves and the Shoemaker

Here is a lovely boxed-set of four fairy stories from Ian Beck, one of our most celebrated writers and illustrators for children. The best-loved tales are all here: There is a wolf who disguises himself as a dear old grandmother in Little Red Riding Hood. There are tiny elfin helpers who busy themselves with needle and thread in The Elves and the Shoemaker. There's a cunning fox who captures a runaway biscuit in The Gingerbread Boy. And there is an uninvited curly-haired guest in Goldilocks and the Three Bears. From the first story to the last, this is a collection that is sure to delight young children.
