description: Long ago, when Hungarians used to tell each other tales in the evenings, they thought up some of the most amazing things. In this edition, Hungarian-born Val Biro retells and illustrates a favorite selection of his country's stories. Among them, goblins rain from the sky; the Mayor's 'mare'segg' gives birth to a rabbit; and Amalfi, son of the apple, finds his destiny in a flying palace.
