Jack and the Beanstalk
By E. Nesbit
Illustrated by Matt Tavares
A superbly illustrated edition of the classic fairy tale from the author of "The Railway Children".
Jack can’t seem to do anything useful! He can’t even sell the old cow; instead, he trades it for a handful of beans. But then those beans sprout into a towering stalk, which elevates Jack to a strange land ruled by a greedy giant. Jack must be clever and brave as he tries to return the giant’s stolen treasures to their rightful owner.
- A charming, wry retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk, first published in 1908.
- E. Nesbit’s unabridged text is complemented by Matt Tavares’s dynamic and engaging illustrations.
