Peerifool

by Judy Paterson (Retold), Sally J. Collins (Illustrator)

Many years ago in Rousay, there lived a King, a Queen and their daughters. The king died suddenly and the Crown passed to a distant cousin. The Queen and the Princesses were sent off to live in a tiny cottage and fend for themselves. They soon notice that their cabbages are being stolen. On trying to find out who is doing this they come across a giant. The two oldest princesses are carried off, one by one, by the giant to look after him and the tiny ‘Peerie Folk’. The youngest princess is determined to save her sisters. . .
