![]( "The Musicians of Bremen")
Grimm's popular fairytale is back with a bang in Corriani's version retold by award-winning illustrator Katrin Stangl.
The Musicians of Bremen is the story of a donkey, a cat, a dog and a rooster past their prime and no longer of use who decide to leave for Bremen to become musicians. Their journey is one of learning, friendship and union.
Stangl's wonderfully bold illustrative style is further enhanced by red and green throughout, making this a sure winner with young and old alike.

Although plastic was the material of choice for our bucket and spade, this tin pail brings back memories of the British seaside, including Blackpool rock, donkey rides and knickerbocker glories.

Why not start a collection? Pails as fresh and bright as this look fantastic grouped together on a shelf.

Wooden Czech toys are enjoying a comeback and many of Czechoslovakia's State toy factory's designs have been modernised and are for sale in the Republic today.
This magnetic toy theatre set is an original, produced by the State Toy Factory ToFa Albrechtice.
The box is in reasonable vintage condition (half-removed sticky label on top) and includes an assembly diagram, the cardboard stage, Proscenium arch, three reversible scenery panels, two wooden scenery stands and two magnetic wands to move the four wooden figures (sadly, one of the little ones is missing).
Our children love making up plays and we imagine that toy theatres like this must have given hours of pleasure.
For play and display (please note the wooden figures are small and this vintage toy does not comply with current toy safety standards).
Box measures 34 x 20.5 x 3cm.
