Si te gustan los cuentos de hadas pero quieres una versión más oscura y que te de que pensar (sin el típico final " felices para simepre") lo recomiendo mucho. The first adventure in the Folio Society editions of ‘The Magic Faraway Tree’ series, Enid Blyton’s The Enchanted Wood features Jonathan Burton’s enchanting illustrations and a new introduction by Michael Morpurgo.

Una de las lástimas de este libro es que son tantas y tantas historias (no las he contado, pero habrá 300 o más), que no se pueden asimilar todas y la mayoría acaban siendo olvidadas. A fascinating history of the creatures that populate myths and folklore, John Cherry’s Mythical Beasts is beautifully reimagined as a Folio edition illustrated with archive images and Neil Packer’s striking new motifs and binding design. They are still germane since they address themes such as people’s trials, tribulations, fears and hopes, lessons learned, how people face their problems, prove themselves, and come into their own in the process.Their tales of bravery and magic capture children’s imaginations generation after generation (who wouldn’t want a fairy godmother making their wishes come true? Todo un imaginario que Angela rescata desde los inuit hasta Japón pasando por Inglaterra, Birmania o Sudán. It’s not just the traditional ones, but variations thereof and whole new stories that are more foreign to a Western audience in their preoccupations (I was a bit puzzled by the mothers turning into lionnesses and dogs forming from their saliva, for example). I think this is a good book to keep close to bed, in case you don't really feel like reading anything too long or engaging. She was there at the same time as Roland Barthes, who published his experiences in Empire of Signs (1970).

Muchos se los he narrado a mi hijo, adaptándolos un poco a su edad sobre todo por el lenguaje, y me pide «otro» y «otro» mientras me pregunta «y qué pasó» «y qué pasó».I would use it for students who are moving on to reading larger paragraphs and expanding their vocabulary. Y quiero mencionar que hay un cuento muy feminista que me ha encantado, en el que un grupo de chicas deciden huir y establecerse todas juntas a raíz del acoso que sufre una de ellas. Hay para todos los gustos: tildes que faltan, cambio de género de personajes de un párrafo a otro, palabras omitidas (ejemplo: "cogió la y se la dio a su hermano"). If your child loves Disney and their princesses such as Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty, or if they love stories about giants and spells, this children's book would make the perfect gift for them! It's hard to know how to review collections like this because in my mind they are as much data as they are entertainment.

Si bien los detalles varían, la trama es la misma: una mujer que se transforma en leona pero que acude a ver a su hija, que sigue siendo humana. Add your own dedication for free and we’ll print it on the first page, so every time they open their book, they remember just how loved they are. Not only does it look super-cool (and it does), but it also has heaps of benefits, from boosting reading confidence to increasing self-esteem. This stunning collection contains lyrical tales, bloody tales and hilariously funny and ripely bawdy stories from countries all around the world- from the Arctic to Asia – and no dippy princesses or soppy fairies. Something about the pictures reminded me about my own childhood and I really wanted to like this volume, but none of us enjoyed the writing, it wasn't pleasant to read aloud or listen to, and some of the stories felt like something important had been skipped or glossed over.Just enough nice illustrations to keep kids interested but leads nicely into longer reading sessions.
