Fairy Tales

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.

A perfectly accomplished novel that has the whiff of Skellig about it. Well done Red Fox!

—— Shaun Traynor , The Irish Post

Plots which grip the reader from the opening paragraph

—— The Sunday Times

Robert Swindells writes the kinds of books that are so scary you're afraid to turn the page
