To get her hands on an original would be amazing, but she would make due with the version she had. It wasn't something to sneeze at either.
"As a child, I used to hear a tale from this book almost every night and I'm sure most of you remember hearing tales from it as well. There are many versions that have been translated and different covers and what not, but what we find inside is the same. A few of you have mentioned a few of the tales inside. Can you name the others?"
Maddie smiled. Her first points of the year! That must sound awful, but it wasn't her fault. She had only arrived two days ago, after all. Now... back to the lesson. Which stories were in it? She ought to know that, her father had read it to her every night until she was six or seven. She racked her brain for minute or two, and then put her hand up.
'There's, um, Babbitty Rabbitty and her Cackling Stump, The Fountain of Fair Fortune, Grumble the Grubby Goat, The Tale of the Three Brothers, The Warlock's Hairy Heart and The Wizard and the Hopping Pot, Professor.' she said. She knew that wasn't all of them, but it would probably do.
'My favourite was always The Wizard and the Hopping Pot,' she added with a smile.
