Fairytale trip around the world. 52 stories from all over the world

There are so many different holidays in the world! Each country has its own customs and traditions: the Chinese celebrate the New Year in February, the Irish love to wear green clothes on St. Patrick's Day, and the English predict the weather on St. Swithun's Day. Where did these traditions come from and what do they mean?
The 52 fairy tales and stories collected in this book for each week of the year provide answers to this question. Each fairy tale is dedicated to a holiday. So, at Easter you can read the Canadian fairy tale "Basket of Eggs", at Maslenitsa you can learn about the adventures of the escaped pancake, and on Oceans Day you can open a Japanese fairy tale about a castle on the seabed...
Forward, on a fabulous round-the-world trip!

Angela McAllister's book collects and retells the most interesting and unusual fairy tales that parents tell their children in different parts of the world. For each week of the year, you can find a story here that is associated with the holidays of different nations. Moreover, these are not only the well-known New Year and Christmas, but also such unusual holidays as Water Day, Music Day or, for example, Food Day. In total, the collection includes 52 exciting stories for each week of the year and a calendar of holidays.
