Lion Book of Five-minute Bedtime Stories
John Goodwin

Here are 10 amusing stories with a theme suitable for bedtime – always goodhearted and morally uplifting, yet curiously mischievous as well.

John Goodwin’s warm and witty writing combines with Stephen Waterhouse’s vibrantly-detailed illustrations to bring these traditional folktales to life.

A one-line introduction gives the point of each story, with thoughts and morals including gentle persuasion being better than rough force, families being stronger when working together, and the importance of sharing, wisdom and being kind.

Stories include: Stone soup; The shoemaker’s slipper; The golden goose; The emperor’s new clothes; and the greatest pearl in the world.

Johjn Goodwin has written plays for the BBC and children's fiction for OUP and Hodder & Stoughton. He is the author of Lion's An Arkful of Animal Stories, Five-Minute Christmas Stories and Five-Minute Animal Stories.

Stephen Waterhouse has been published by Bloomsbury. He is the illustrator of 50 Favourite Bible Stories, published by Lion.
