I was skeptical about getting the book because it clearly states 500 Fairy Tales for free, thought it was too good to be true. The table of contents, the format, its very decent and they're all there. The table of contents gives you a list of the volumes. When you click on the volume, you are then taken to a full list of stories for that volume in particular that you can select which is what I was hoping for because in the past I've purchased large volume collections but the formatting was useless and I was not able to go to a particular story and instead had to browse page after page for each story. But this book has a very decent formatting and its the one of the best and largest anthologies on fairy tales and for free.
I think I like fairy tales in theory more than in actual fact. It's just so annoying when things happen for no reason at all other than to make the plot move, and there isn't even an attempt at explanation. Also, there's never any characterization at all. The point is not to entertain, but the morality lesson at the end.
