The King with Dirty Feet and other stories
Compiled by Mary Medlicott
Half a dozen traditional tales by writers whose tellings work very well as scripts for 'performing' to listening audiences thus paying tribute to the oral origins - Indian, Ghanaian, Australian, Guyanese, English and Native American Indian - of the stories. If you are looking for a good selection to get children thinking and discussing, then invest in this collection. Dramatic oil pastel illustrations grace each tale, an added allure for would-be child readers.
