About this ebook
We have been fascinated by riddles for as long as we have had language – think of the legend of the sphinx in Greek mythology. This wonderful book includes both magical riddle tales and simple challenges, with clues and answers hidden in intricate illustrations. Discover how the farmer saved his daughter by solving the fairies’ riddles or how the old hen-wife helped the two brothers solve the mystery of their father’s will. Have a read – you’ll be hooked.
