Kenneth Steven brings together the great tradition of storytelling and his own gentle Christian faith, assuring children of God's comforting presence - even in difficult situations. 

Each story is a great read for children while also being underpinned by a moral point firmly rooted in the Christian faith. The drawings, created by Katharine Wake, add a charming visual dimension to the clear and elegant prose.

The Raven's Tale and other stories may be read aloud to children of all ages. 'When the world was still quite young, a group of animals and birds lived together in a beautiful valley far away. There were high hills up above and sweet meadows running through the valley, and at the heart of everything was a great deep blue river that wound like a snake towards the sea.'
