Book Reviews of Folk and Fairy Tales, fourth edition: An Introductory Anthology
Book Review: Folk & fairy tales
Summary: 5 Stars
The was delivered a little later than i hoped for but the book was in great condition and it is a great book.Very interesting and being a college student i had originally planned on selling the book after the class was over but now i don't think I'll be able to. It was one of the most intriguing books I've read. For anyone who loves fairy tales this is one of the best books ever because of its diverse collection of tales. For example there are many version of Little Red Riding Hood, even a Chinese version. This is definitely a good buy. I'll be keeping mine.
