Fairy Tales and Fables

Book Overview

Gyo Fujikawa creates magic with this enchanting collection of fairy tales and fables. These are the stories that all children should experience, that will nourish their young minds and imaginations: Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, The Hare and the Tortoise, The Little Red Hen, The Three Little Pigs, and many more. Some are well known and beloved; others are unfamiliar, but they're all beautifully written and illustrated. As always, Fujikawa's characters (human and animal) are endearing and rich in personality. Her stunning images include the ugly duckling looking up plaintively at swans flying in a sunset sky; a lovely princess atop dozens of colorful mattresses (but she can still feel the pea); and tiny Jack chased by a giant large enough to take up nearly an entire spread

Not all the stories

This version only contained half the stories - and I can’t tell how to find the full version.

Fantastic!

A fantastic collection of classic fairy tales. The stories are written with a sweetness and an innocence that is lost in many of the contemporary versions of the same tales. Filled with fantasy and fun and great lessons too. My kids love this book.

My favorite fairy tale book!!

This book is awesome! It was my favorite fairy tale book when I was a girl. I love the art work in it! I still have my orignal one from 1974. It was the only thing from my childhood I kept. I bought a new one for my 3 yr old twin boy and girl. I also bought one for my nephew too. They love looking at the pictures and listening to the stories. Some of the fairy tales are for older kids, but we still enjoy reading it.
