Our Favorite Fairy Tales

We discovered this book at our local library and fell in love at first reading. The collection of illustrations is captivating, the stories are well told, and the feel of the book in our hands is luxurious. When my children and I settle in to read these fairy tales we are swept away to another time and place. Because these are not illustrated by a single artist, we get to have lots of conversations about artistic interpretations and my children are then inspired to draw from their own imaginations rather than copying how they think a fairy tale character "should" look.

Beautiful pictures and great collection.

Bought this to use in a high school Myths, Fairy Tales, and Legends class. Not only do the students like the stories, but the pictures are beatiful to look at. My 7 year-old-daughter loves the stories as well.

Timeless. Whether you have kids, grandkids, or you're just a kid at heart, these tails spark the imagination and teach valuable lessons. With lovely illustrations, this is a handsome book to have on your shelf. Tales from the Brothers Grimm: A Classic IIlustrated Edition (Classic Illustrated)

Great compilation!

I recently purchased this for my 5 year old and she loves it. The pictures are varied, mostly great old-fashioned paintings, and the stories are the perfect length for a read aloud before bed. The book is small enough to be accessible to kids (not one of those heavy, bulky anthologies) and I know we'll be using this for quite some time.
