Three raindrops have an argument on their way out of a cloud ... A silly King goes for a walk with a dog tied to each leg ... An enterprising herring, bored of the North Sea, decides to swim right round the world ...

Thirty short stories of magic and adventure penned by Monty Python team member, Terry Jones. Embracing the tradition of the fairy tale, but adding Jones's inimitable comic imagination and originality, each story makes a perfect bedtime read for children - and grown ups!

'Could become a \""modern classic\"" ... the book is a joy' Brian Patten, Spectator.

Reviews for Fairy Tales

'This highly illustrated text will fascinate anyone interested in dress history, national and ethnic identity or English cultural history.' International Textiles 'A well-researched scholarly piece that is definitely worth reading ... highly recommended for those who are interested in dress, fashion, and cultural and national identity.' ITAA Newsletter 'The Englishness of English Dress is an intelligent, thoughtful and engaging collection of essays addressing the construction of national identity through dress and tradition ... Every essay in this book is worth reading - not always the case with collections of this sort. It should be on the bookshelf of anyone with an academic interest in the language of dress.'
