A little about the story
Fairy tales from many lands, retold by Katharine Pyle: eagles fly to the Red Sea for a dazzling ring, a prince rides home on a black steed with golden apples and the magic hound Samur, and a Christmas angel works small wonders.
Pyle was an illustrator as well as a writer, and her retellings are vivid, simple and full of magic.
