Comments
CIP Info A collection of twenty traditional tales from various parts of the world, each of whose main character is a strong and resourceful woman. Some of these stories I had read or heard before. However, the author lets the reader down by not indicating where the stories originated. The illustrations are nice, but I wish there where more. There are better collections of positive female folk stories available.
