I have not heard of Terry Jones before, and I believe he is British. However, he has written 30 wonderful fairy tales which, when read aloud, leave the listeners spellbound. Very funny and refreshing, and each fairy tale is accompanied by a beautiful water color illustration (some black and white) by Michael Foreman. In checking online I see that Terry Jones has other such books as well, which I will certainly purchase and add to our elementary school library, as should any other librarian.
