In the Never-ever Wood (Hardcover)

Linda Rode

Fiona Moodie 

There are many, many collections of stories for children but few have the scope and skill of this. Linda Rode has gathered into her loom sixty story-threads from all over the world. Joyously, most of them are from Africa but there are tales derived from Aesop, La Fontaine, Perrault, Grimm and Andersen as well as folk and fairy tales from the San, Khoi, Zulu, Igbo, Ashanti, Masai. A world-wide tapestry of tales, related with style and humour, and a brief note on the origin of each. All of these enriched by Fiona Moodies detailed, delicate artwork, elegant and excellent. I relish the many views of African people and landscapes so deftly chosen. Oh, how many happy returns you and your children will make to the treasures inside this enriching and beautiful book. Also available in Afrikaans as In die Nimmer-Immer-Bos

Here are sixty stories, selected and retold by fairy-tale lover Linda Rode. Smaller folks, who have the stories read to them, as well as self-readers, will derive an equal amount of pleasure from this book. It is a comprehensive collection that will open up the wide, wide world of fairy tales and other folklore to children.

A short annotation at the end of each story points out the land of origin and puts the stories from Africa, Europe, the East and other parts of the world in context with one another.

Fiona Moodies evocative illustrations are drypoint etches printed by hand and painted afterwards an intricate process that took more than two years to complete.

The enchanting results make this book an art treasure for everyone privileged enough to receive it.
