Next to the glow of the open hearth and tucked safely away within the logged walls of traditional storytelling, comes an eclectic collection of folk tales from all around the world. Scottish fishermen, Russian peasants, Czech cobblers and Canadian bears all feature in various tales of lore about the winter season. This book is the perfect antidote for a long day inside while outside the wintry weather rages.
Drawn from countries and cultures around the world, this work features stories that express the glorious aspects of the season. It includes stories ranging from a group of courageous Russian animals to a legend about a bag of warmth that can keep winter away forever.
