24 verse fairy tales
Author: Sophia Madouvalou
Illustration: Aristarchos Papadaniel
Syllipsis Publications / e-book, Athens, May 2013
Adaptation in English: Pierra Fotiadou

The main goal of the 24 verse stories is to acquaint the child with the letters and sounds of the Greek language. In the original, each story uses words beginning with the same letter of the Greek alphabet. Language barriers permit only a free adaptation into English, to give some idea of stories’ surrealistic nature. The heroes in all their vitality, humor and freshness are inviting you to watch the first Greek educational animated series, produced by the Greek Ministry of Education (YouTube - Educational RadioTelevision).

All stories are offered for free
by the author and the publisher
to the children, parents and teachers
to enjoy the endless language games.
