The Lotus and the Grail

Rosemary Harris
Illustrated by Errol Le Cain
(Faber Children's Books)
978-0571135363, RRP £4.95, Paperback
10-14 Middle/Secondary
Buy "The Lotus and the Grail: Legends from East to West" on Amazon

Eighteen legends from different countries retold and reworked by Rosemary Harris. They are loosely bound together by the idea that the central character has a goal of some sort. The treatment of philosophical, psychological and moral ideas make this collection of particular interest to older readers who may well be engaged in their own quests for understanding. This paperback version has plain white stiff paper covers and a full colour wrap around dust jacket. Full colour illustration inside too.
