Synopsis

Old Feller Storyteller can't resist meddling. He sends Jill on an incredible adventure in search of Jack. She enters a world of magicians and dragons, floating castles and beautiful princesses, golden apples of immortality and the most gruesome giant of all time. She finds brave Jacks, cowardly Jacks, daft Jacks, clever Jacks and good-for-nothing Jacks. And very soon Jill finds herself in a story of her own. Suggested level: primary.
