Made to Order at Juniper Custom in Boulder, Colorado

Long before stories were written down, they were told around fires and at bedsides, carried from one generation to the next. These four collections from Chronicle Books carry young readers to Celtic lands, the Nordic north, India and East Africa, each illustrated in full color. Our jackets are patterned after the cultures each book celebrates, handsome enough for the coffee table and perfectly at home in a bedroom or playroom. The set is ideal for readers aged eight to twelve, and for families who love to read aloud together.
