Rowling s THE TALES OF BEEDLE THE BARD, STUFF OF LEGENDS, or classics like WIND IN THE WILLOWS will love this collection of tales meant to be read again and again.

br/> WHAT IT S ABOUT: Every hero was once a child, listening to stories of the heroes who came before them. It is the same with the Mouse Guard. Six mouse fables are spun to a few familiar youngfurs, reminding us all to be brave, stay true to ourselves, and follow our hearts. Brand-new stories include "Service to Seyan," set in the land where Mouse warriors travel after death, and "Oh Day Away," a tale of the insect faeries of the Mouse world!
