Roald Dahl's irreverant Revolting Rhymes have an enduring appeal, and now for the first time, children can enjoy the fun of performing two of them as musicals. In Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Snow White cleverly schemes to scoop up the magic mirror in a dash for freedom and fortune, aided by seven ex horse-race jockeys and the turncoat huntsman, leaving the meanest queen, as ever - heartless. The Dahl script, the magical, amusing new songs, and clever staging ideas are all wrapped up in one accessible and affordable pack - complete with a performance/backing tracks CD and excerpts from the orchestral adaptation by Eleanor Alberga.
"As in the classic tale, our Snow White falls under the spell of the evil Queen when she bites into a golden apple. Are the seven trolls coming to save her or to trick the princes who come to break the spell? Only one troll decides his future lies with Snow White, not his fellow trolls and their newly stolen riches."--
The much-loved Roald Dahl collection of hilarious animal rhymes, updated for a whole new generation of readers with an exciting new interior design and cover look. A collection of (mainly) grisly beasts out for human blood, ranging from Crocky-Wock the crocodile to Stingaling the scorpion. Described in verse with all Dahl's usual gusto and illustrated in suitably lurid style by Quentin Blake. Exciting, bold and instantly recognisable with Quentin Blake's inimitable artwork.

Involving the power of a djinn, poisoned dates, seven dwarf sisters-in-faith, and a mysterious old peddler woman in the woods wearing a face veil, this lyrically told story offers a unique twist on this fairy tale, whilst keeping the classic much-loved story intact, including a hateful and vain stepmother, a considerate huntsman, and a charming prince. Set in the heady snow-strewn woodlands of Anatolia by the illustrator Shireen Adams, this tale of flight, friendship, and forgiveness is richly detailed and beautifully brought to life. Snow White is the second book in the Islamic Fairy Tales series, which looks to offer meaningful and faithful variants of these popular worldwide stories. Fawzia Gilani has worked as a teacher, librarian, and school principal in the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada since 1993. She is the author of thirty children's books, mostly on the topic of Eid.
