The Puffin Book of Classic Stories for Girls

Timeless stories for girls, and those who remain girls at heart.

Pick up a dainty blue umbrella, skip around a secret garden; spend a day in the mountains, playing amongst the goats and birds; save a little pig from a dreadful fate. All this and more in these stories of magic, whimsy and humour.

Read the miraculous story of Pollyanna; explore a magical land with Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz; feel the warmth of love, and bond with the March sisters in Little Women; follow the travails of the mischievous Katy as she gets into scrapes at school; and watch out for Matildaƒ??s extraordinary tricks.

Featuring the works of such renowned authors as Lewis Carroll, Jane Austen, Roald Dahl, Ruskin Bond, Rabindranath Tagore and others, and a sparkling introduction by celebrated author Manjula Padmanabhan, The Puffin Book of Classic Stories for Girls is a matchless collection of stories from the masters of world literature for girls of all ages.
