    An adapted, easy-to-read edition of The Fisherman and the Genie - with engaging illustrations throughout.
    A poor fisherman nets a strange pot instead of fish to feed his family. Luckily, there is a genie inside. Unluckily, that genie is furious. Only stories about a regretful father and an ungrateful king convince him not to kill the fisherman.
    Instead, the genie takes him to a magic lake with all the fish he could ask for, but which he cannot eat. The reason why lies in another story about another king – and a sorceress who walks through walls.

Ever lusting for told and treasure, the giant brothers raided Shiloh and made off with everyone old enough to work in their gold mines. A wisely owl advises the two small and unlikely rescuers to search for the bird Whitey and ask for wisdom to complete the rescue without themselves being kidnapped. He gives them dream root as well that serves them well and bolsters them with courage. 
    It is not an easy trek, the giant's mountain gold mine is a day’s journey away and they have to deal with snakes, wolves, hunger and the current of cold fast moving river. The story moves at a fast pace and before you know it you are drug into the magical world of singing beavers, magical vines and a brutal flying monkey army. The audio book is based on the musical film Jake and the Giants, directed by Sonic alumni Kent Butterworth.
