This is collection of well known fairy tales by Grimm’s and others, with an introductory on the history and importance of fairy tales for children. Most of them would benefit from illustrations, but if you just want the text, it’s fine. Since I plan on handmaking a picture-book for my nieces, it suits my purpose. I do wish the Table of Contents was clickable, however.
The book includes:
One Eye, Two Eyes, Three Eyes
The Magic Mirror
Hansel and Grethel
The Story of Aladdin
The White Cat
The Second Voyage of Sinbad
The Golden Goose
The Twelve Brothers
Tom Thumb
Cinderella
Puss in Boots
Blue Beard
Sleeping Beauty
Jack and the Beanstalk
Little Red Riding Hood
Jack the Giant Killer
The Three Bears
The Princess On The Pea
The Ugly Duckling
Beauty and the Beast
As others have mentioned, this book is difficult to navigate because the table of contents is not clickable. But the content is definitely there and is very enjoyable.
This volume contains a number of fairy-tales that adults will “recognize” as they are similar to popular favorites (i.e. Cinderella, etc.), but it also had some good ones that I had never heard.
