- Discover a wealth of expertly-curated sensational stories, in many cases told here for the very first time, from the award-winning podcast Super Great Kids' Stories! Get ready for a worldwide adventure in this treasure trove of a book bursting with magic, mischief and merriment, with 30 enthralling tales from around the globe! In West Africa, you'll meet Anansi as he takes on the King's hot pepper soup; in Ireland, you'll meet a girl who tries to outwit a leprechaun; in Australia, you'll discover how the Lyrebird got its voice; and in North America, you'll laugh out loud at the story of the ghost who needs a plaster! Including both timeless classics and hidden gems, each tale in this collection is told by a skilled storyteller and includes notes on the culture and history of the story, painting a vivid picture as to why each tale has stood the test of time. And, with the help of Story Owl, you can even become a star storyteller yourself!
