Recapturing those childhood memories, 27 Jan 2003
By A Customer
If I had had this book as a child, I would never have let it go. These superb old-style, traditional fairy tales are laced with magic and mystery. The combination of the tales and the illustrations transport you back into a time long past, and let you float on a sea of imagination. Don't get me wrong, this is a children's book, and the stories are short and consice, making them ideal for bedtime, the illustrations will provide hours and hours of amusement and facination. And the gold details found on every page with intrigue fairy princesses everywhere. Great value for money, with colour and shiny things on every page, nothing too nasty, which might cause nightmares, and fabulous illustrations. What more can I say? If you haven't got a fairy tale book, get this one, if you want one with pictures, get this one. The only thing is that the stories stay true to the earliest tales, so there is no pumpkin in Cindarella.
