AMAZING Book!

I have been looking for this book forever! I read it as a child at someone's house and fell in love with the illustrations. There is a varied selection of stories here, from old classics to Norse, German and Greek myths to just plain odd stories I'd never heard of. But the illustrations are what makes this book special. They are so brilliant; just drenched in colors and there's something romantic, wild and compelling about them.
