book that started my love for Fairy Tales This was a nice collection, Not as sanitized as I'd feared it would be, and a good selection of stories, too, My sister own a copy of this book, I've read it when I was still a kid, : : One of my most prized posessions!! I have had this book since I was a kid, Its been through some hell but its become a family hand me down, My gram gave it to me and i will pass it along, This is the very reason why I developed a voracious love for books, We had this when I was about five or six, T'was nice that I tumbled upon this book here in goodreads, LOVE FAIRY TALES !!!!
But ya got to admit back when you were a child when the killing and brutal parts of the story in fairy tale is easily forgotten LOL
But never the less i love the book and its classic drawings.
YAY !!! Fairy tales are awesome, not because of the happy ending,
But because of the beauty in every protagonist,
How they manage to stay kind despite all odds,
The things that keep them grounded, if that essence is missed, then the fairy loses its beauty.
The best part of Cinderella is the wisdom Cinderella's mothers passes on to her before she dies.
The legacy of her life which is to "have courage and be kind", Cinderella follows that in her life even during testing times.
But this fairy tale collection's version of Cinderella completely omitted that,
Not just in this story, in a lot of the stories in this book, the plot is right, but the beauty is missing.
Average read. Will not recommend this to anyone, No me parece que el principe entre al cuarto de Rapunzel sin su permiso, My dad bought me a copy when I was a kid and I still have it, Back then I didn't appreciate it as i wasn't into reading stories until I grew a little older.
I love the book and would reread it from time to time, The illustrations are beautiful, too! Lo había terminado la otra vez, pero no lo había marcado acá.
This was my absolute favourite book as a child and I still haven't found a collection of fairy tales that beats it.
The illustrations are superb and I love how it includes lesser known fairy tales, If I ever have children, I am definitely getting another copy tragically, my old one was destroyed.
It's fairytales, which are amazing and one of my alltime favorite things to read, What more do I have to say This book was one of my favorite Christmas gifts I ever received as a child.
I dragged it between home and school every day for all of January, It's always a pleasure to go back to this good old childhood favorite My most favorite collection of fairy tales, read it every night when I was a child, love the pictures too! I had this book ever since I was a kid, and I can still recall the drawings and how they're vividly etched in my mind.
This book was my favorite,
One of the classics on my bookshelf, I recommend this to parents who want to have their kids practice and love reading at an early age.
Ah! A largeprint book that I can read without a magnifying glass!
The readaloud retellings of theclassic tales are wellwritten.
The illustrations by AnnieClaude Martin are magnificent,
A word of caution: If you are offended by a picture of a bare bottom, do not read theth tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes.

This book has NICE ILLUSTRATIONS and in Am, English with a touch of Singaporean British English, . . can be converted into readers theatre, . . and in easytoread format. A perfect gift for your loved one this christmas, A musthave book. My mother bought this book for her first nephew, . . around. He grew up and then passed it on to me, mine its falling apart but it is by far my most valuable book.
I love it! My grandmother had this book on her bookshelf meant for us grandkids, The first thing I always did in the morning when we visited her was to get it down by whatever means necessary this meant a lot of stacking smaller books and carry it over to an armchair in the living room, where I would promptly pull it into my lap and start to read.
These tales and illustrations captivated me, This routine continued into my teens, and only now has it stopped because she gave the book to me! Es un libro con cuentos muy diversos y fantásticos a mi hija le encantan, además muchos cuentos son de cultura popular pero si no hubiera sido por este libro no los conocería.
