The stories in this anthology illustrate many of the qualities of the wise woman, offering readers of all ages a new perspective on a character usually presented in fairy tales as either menacingly evil or dim-witted and useless. With spirited grandmothers from as far afield as Senegal and Sweden, all of these tales are rich with humour, action and suspense. A fresh and witty retelling is complemented by finely detailed and mesmerizing illustrations. Featuring a story CD narrated by academy award winning actress Olympia Dukakis!
