Book Reviews of The Golden Book of Fairy Tales (Golden Classics)
Book Review: Great gift - ended up ordering one for ourselves!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this as a gift for our Goddaughter, but after looking through it decided I wanted one in our home even though we don't even have children yet.
The book itself is a big classic looking, hard covered book, filled with beautiful detailed illustrations both in color and in gray scale on some pages. The stories come from all over the world and range from long fairy tales we all grew up with to short folk tales I had never heard of before. The writing is lovely and uses clear simple language that manages to not dumb things down for it's younger audience. I appreciated this and I loved the fact that the stories were left pretty much in tact with all the complications of the original stories and without a happy ending if there wasn't one.
I enjoyed reading this and remembering my youth and I look forward to sharing it with our Goddaughter and eventually our own children someday.
