COLLINS BIG CAT - THE GOLDEN TURTLE AND OTHER TALES: BAND 16/SAPPHIRE (COLLINS BIG CAT)
PHINN, GERVASE
Three folk tales from around the world retold by the wonderful storyteller Gervase Phinn. In the first, a golden turtle offers a kindly fisherman riches beyond his wildest dreams.

A wanted poster on pages 54 and 55 for the leprechaun in the last story helps children to recap all the naughty things he did.
