A beautifully illustrated collection of fifteen traditional folk tales, lovingly retold by acclaimed novelist Elizabeth Garner.
Drawing on the rich storytelling traditions of the British Isles, Europe and Russia, Garner breathes new life into tales passed down through generations, weaving together stories inspired by the great folklore collections of the Brothers Grimm, Joseph Jacobs, Italo Calvino and Katharine Briggs.
Filled with tricksters, shape-shifters, enchanted forests, talking animals and fearless heroes, these timeless tales have been reimagined with lyrical prose while remaining faithful to the spirit of the oral tradition.
Featuring striking original wood engravings by Phoebe Connolly and a foreword by master storyteller Hugh Lupton, Lost & Found is a captivating treasury for readers of folklore, fairy tales and myth.
