It is the unlikely heroes in stories that are sometimes the most inspiring of all. Stories about someone small, and seemingly unimportant or overlooked, who ends up being the one to stand tall. This collection of seven fairy tales, once much loved, now forgotten, breathes new life into old tales: a farm girl outwits an ogre, an old man wins fame for his kindness, while a girl discovers that what makes her different is also what makes her so special. This magical collection will bring inspiration to a new generation of readers and act as a reminder that anyone, no matter how small, can make a difference.
