About this ebook
Joseph Jacobs' fairytales are magical; but how do you get kids excited about the stories when most translations were written over 100 years ago in a dated English? This collection of dozens of fairytales brings the stories to life with a modern English translation!
All the classic tales are here (including: Jack and the Beanstalk, Jack the Giant Killer, the Story of the Three Bears, Chicken Little, Rumpelstiltskin, and many more!)
