Folk Stories

Author and storyteller W. Nikola-Lisa presents three original folk stories in this handsome volume. While the first two stories ("The Girl and the Troll" and "Two Bags of Gold") offer traditional elements of a folk story-magic, daring, wonder, and amazement-the last story ("The Young Boy and the Old Man") is a meditation on the development of writing and the art of bookmaking. Parents, teachers, and caregivers will enjoy sharing this collection of stories with emerging readers and writers.
