My daughter loves this book!:
I bought this book for our homeschooling curriculum. My daughter is 6 and loves the stories so much that after we use it for our literature lessons she also wants me to read it for her bedtime story as well. These are real fairy tales and not watered down tales with a happy ending. I am very happy that I purchased this book.
A must and a good deal:
This book contains both volumes previously published in paperback. A must for anyone interested in folklore or storytelling.
Some tales you probably haven't heard:
This excellent edition has a few of the more well known fairy tales and many that the average person has never heard. The children love these tales and so do I. Nice hardbound for a very good price.
English Fairy Tales my grandmother would recite:
When I was child in the late 1950's my grandmother would recite
"The Old Lady and the Pig" to me everynight when I stayed
with her. I loved that tale as I loved her and have been looking for it for a very long time. Now, I can read it to my grandson. I truly love this book.
