Synopsis:

How can a blind man see more than his companion, the hunter? What will become of the peddler who decides to follow his dream? And how do fishes find themselves swimming in the grass of a forest? Nothing is quite as it seems in this book; so prepare yourself to be astonished, intrigued, and enchanted as you follow the magical transformations that occur among these pages. Includes audio CD.

Synopsis:

How can a blind man see more than his companion, the hunter? And how do fishes find themselves swimming in the grass of a forest? Nothing is quite as it seems in this unusual collection of tales from around the world.

Beautifully captured by Niamh Sharkey's quirky and perceptive illustrations, these tales remind us of how vast and mysterious our world is, and how our lives can be transformed in the most unexpected circumstances.
