Description

An exciting return to the classic Ladybird retellings with richly detailed illustrations and a world where stepmothers are truly wicked, trolls are hairy and ugly and forests dark and mysterious. Ladybird has published fairy tales for over forty-five years, bringing the magic of traditional stories to each new generation of children. The Ladybird Tales series is based on the original Ladybird re-tellings, with beautiful pictures of the kind children like best -- full of richness and detail. The story of Peter and the Wolf was written as a musical composition for children by the Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev. Since it was first performed in 1936, Peter and the Wolf has been used to teach millions of children about the way music can be used to tell a story.
