This popular title (originally also available as The Lion Storyteller Book of World Stories) is the second title in the relaunch of the immensely popular Storyteller series in a newly illustrated portrait format.

Bob Hartman's retellings of 40 warm and reassuring bedtime stories, taken from around the world and retold especially for reading aloud, are combined with Kriszta Kallai Nagy's naive and colourful illustrations, which give a freshness to the text.

This new edition is enhanced by useful storytelling tips to help with reading the stories aloud.

As the author says in the introduction: 'Bedtime stories need to leave the listener with that safe, warm, happily-ever-after feeling'. And that's what this collection does, time and time again' - "Manchester Evening News".
