Favorite Fairy Tales: 27 Stories by the Brothers Grimm, Andersen, Perrault and Others

by M.C. Waldrep (Editor)

Generations of readers have thrilled to traditional tales recounted by folklorist Andrew Lang. Starting with his 1889 publication of The Blue Fairy Book and continuing through a rainbow-hued spectrum of other titles, Lang's stories continue to enchant audiences of all ages. This captivating anthology features 27 of his most treasured retellings of fairy tales.
Featured fables include "Cinderella," "Beauty and the Beast," "Rapunzel," "Little Red Riding Hood," "Rumpelstiltskin," and other classics. Many of these fantasies were popularized by the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, Charles Perrault, and other long-ago storytellers. The fairy tales are enhanced by artist H. J. Ford's imaginative black-and-white illustrations from the original editions.

[Jeffrey · Rating 3 out of 5]

Drawn from Andrew Lang's "Colour" Fairy Book cellections these stories how Lang messed with the Grimm Bros, Perrault and Andersen in ways that are sometimes quite problematic in the re-workings he published but even so always enjoyable to read fairy tales!
