Well-rounded collection of classic stories

While the whole quality of the book is great -- printed in Italy, good binding, large type, heavy paper -- my favorite aspect is the broad variety of stories in the collection. Fairy tales from all over the world, representing many different cultures (though primarily European and Japanese), gives it a great well-considered "best of" quality to it. No doubt you can think of some stories that have been left out, but whatever might not have been included, this book doesn't suffer because of it.

I have absolutely no complaints about this book.

Beautiful

My daughter is still a bit too young to enjoy this book although she does enjoy the lovely illustrations. I think I really got this book for me : ). I only wish all the illustrations were in full color because the full color pictures are so enchanting. Its really a wonderful book with mesmerizing stories.

Gorgeous pictures.

This book isn't as well made as the edition I had as a child, but what wonderful pictures! I used to pour over them for hours, finding new details all the time.

Childhood Memories

I received this book in 1959 from my Aunt and Uncle when I turned 4. The illustrations are beautiful and seem magical. I was surprised and pleased to see it offered on Amazon. This book started my lifelong love of reading and would STILL make a wonderful gift for young and old!

Tales

I purchased this for a young grandchild, and though the illustrations are lovely and interesting, they are
not interspersed among the text but are on separate pages. It is hard to sustain the interest of a young
child without pictures for them to look at. Too much text grouped together. Traditional story telling
is also lacking.

Originally published in 1958, this book contains a selection of 28 traditional stories from the French, German, Danish, Russian and Japanese traditions. Includes The Sleeping Beauty, The Frog Prince, Puss in Boots, Thumbelina, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Beauty and the Beast.
