An enchanting collection of classic stories and rhymes – one for every day of the year. Including classic tales and nursery rhymes such as Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, Sleeping Beauty and The Tinder Box. All brilliantly retold for young readers.

Artemis Fowl’s archenemy Opal Koboi has masterminded a way to simultaneously secure her release from prison and bring the human and fairy worlds to their knees. And, unless Artemis can stop her, the evil pixie’s next move will destroy all human life on Earth.

Ground zero is the Fowl Estate, where Opal has reanimated fairy warriors who were buried there thousands of years ago. Their spirits have possessed any vessels they can find – corpses, Artemis’s little brothers, assorted wildlife – and they are bound to obey Opal’s every command. Defeating the motley troops and their diabolical leader will require all of Artemis’s cleverness – as well as Butler’s bravery, Holly’s skill, and Foaly’s gadgetry. But if their best efforts aren’t enough, Armageddon will surely follow.

In book two a priceless pearl necklace goes missing. The Secret Seven are first off the mark to catch the thief. Why? Because they saw him making his escape! Now all they have to do is find the necklace…

Solve the mystery!

In their third adventure, the Famous Five discover that someone has been on George’s island. And what is locked in the mysterious trunk hidden on Kirrin Island?

The Famous Five think they’re on the trail of smugglers – until they hear a child scream…
