In these stories it''s the girls who save the day through their courage, cunning or kindness - whether they are facing up to wolves, demons, dragons, enemy tribes, or the sun itself! Handsome princes need not apply - these girls are doing it for themselves. With stories from every corner of the world (from Cameroon to Scotland, India, Japan and the Americas) this inclusive anthology of girl power is stunningly illustrated in paper-cut style.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the best collection of heroine folklore aimed at young readers  that I have read. The pace and imagery of the stories are thrillingly  intense, and the writer addresses the reader in a direct, lively  voice...in the manner of Angela Carter or Susan Price. They are  excellent for reading aloud. This outstanding collection is embellished  with Francesca Greenwood's spirited silhouettes of characters and  motifs. -- George Hunt, Lecturer in Education, University of Edinburgh * Books for Keeps *\u003cbr\u003eThe heroines throughout are brave and ingenious. The stories are written with verve and would be good for either reading or telling. * The School Librarian *\u003cbr\u003eI found it refreshing to read a book aimed at girls that avoided being stereotypically 'girly'. Each tale is the perfect length for a bedtime story. Girls, Goddesses and Giants stands out as a book that both parent and child will be happy to return to again and again. Accessible and readable, with a host of strong female characters and a diverse, multicultural range of stories, it has become a firm favourite... -- Hereward L.M.
