The Giant Oak Tree: And Also Jack and the Beanstalk; A Russian Fairy Tale

All over the world, for thousands of years, people have been telling fairy tales-full of magic, romance, and adventure. Once Upon a World brings together two stories from this rich global heritage in each volume. Each story is strikingly alike but one version is little known, while the second is an old favorite, and both originate from vastly different parts of the world.
