I just adore these old editions full with beautiful illustrations of my beloved fairy tales. As a child I owned most of the books from this Golden Collection and I spend hours reading and enjoying the beautiful pictures. My favorite was the story of Bluebeard, which amazed me and terrified me at the same time. Already grown I still have those books and even read them sometime because to me they are really golden.
I love this series of stories! This particular volume has classics like Cinderella and Bluebeard, some of the not so common ones like The Snow Maiden, but rare one's like Sayed's Adventures, The Empress Jowka, The Book of Spells, the Game of Chess. Stunning illustrations, too, by Tony Wolf.
I love how varied these stories were. Each tale seemed to come from a different culture, which was awesome. Not sure these tales are all tailored for children though, as some of them are quite dark.
