The Lovereading comment:
This is a totally unique kaleidoscopic collection of children’s stories from around the world with illustrations by some outstanding artists including Helen Oxenbury, John Burningham, Axel Scheffler and Michael Foreman to name just four. It will fascinate children from 5 upwards and is perfect for sharing at bedtime. Michael Rosen has brought the collection together and Oxfam will receive royalties from the sale of every book so in addition to being a great joy to read, by buying it you’re giving something to families less well off than ourselves.

Michael Rosen on Michael Rosen:
I grew up in the London suburb of Pinner, a place my parents often wondered about. How had we landed there? My parents were teachers, politically committed (socialists), and great storytellers and readers. I was lucky to have found them.
Most of my adult life, I've been a freelance writer, teacher (of sorts), journalist, performer and broadcaster. I visit schools doing my one-man show, and support Arsenal Football Club.
I have often written about my life and family, but I also write occasional fantasy (usually based in a real place) and non-fiction.
