I find it so hard to DNF， especially when it's a book with that many pages， but I've found out that I don't ever really appreciate short stories。 Most of these fairytales are fun， but so unmemorable， so it feels like a waste of time。 I literally forgot the stories I read the day before （as some for real had 0 morals， especially the Beast tales）。 It was interesting though to read the original fairytales that have been adapted by Disney。 And I can't deny that this Barnes&Noble edition is absolutel I find it so hard to DNF， especially when it's a book with that many pages， but I've found out that I don't ever really appreciate short stories。 Most of these fairytales are fun， but so unmemorable， so it feels like a waste of time。 I literally forgot the stories I read the day before （as some for real had 0 morals， especially the Beast tales）。 It was interesting though to read the original fairytales that have been adapted by Disney。 And I can't deny that this Barnes&Noble edition is absolutely the most beautiful book I have！ 。。。more

A great range of new tales to explore with children allowing then to keep being introduce to new but also familiar fairy tales。

✨Quill's thoughts ✨This book is a treasury of both beloved and less familiar fairy tales。 The more well known ones include;Cinderella， or the little glass slipper， snow White， Rumpelstiltskin， the 12 dancing princesses， & the Frog King， （that ones from the Grimms complete fairy tales and is written in old English for example， 'What ails thee， King's daughter？ Thou weepest so that even a stone would show pity。' And is equally fun and confusing to read， though I liked what the princess does to ✨Quill's thoughts ✨This book is a treasury of both beloved and less familiar fairy tales。 The more well known ones include;Cinderella， or the little glass slipper， snow White， Rumpelstiltskin， the 12 dancing princesses， & the Frog King， （that ones from the Grimms complete fairy tales and is written in old English for example， 'What ails thee， King's daughter？ Thou weepest so that even a stone would show pity。' And is equally fun and confusing to read， though I liked what the princess does to turn the frog human again， and it doesn't require lip gloss！） The Beauty &the Beast tale is taken from the Blue fairy book and is very close to the original Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve version。 （And if you like that you should definitely check out Robin McKinney's Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast） One more thing to keep in mind is that many of the stories were written over a hundred years ago so some are not what we think of today as socially acceptable。 Also take care with the purple on the cover and silver on the page edges as it does rub off slightly。 All in all a great book to have on any fairy tale lovers shelves especially for those interested in looking up the original tales 。。。more

4/15/18: I am about halfway through reading this book。 Just finished the Beauties section。 Really enjoying。This book is a compilation of mostly European fairy tales （pulled mainly from the rainbow Fairy Books， Perrault， and the Brothers Grimm） as well as a handful of Middle Eastern stories。 The book is divided into two halves， Beauties and Beasts。 There don't appear to be any of the Basile versions in this book。 On the whole， the stories are therefore darker than what modern audiences are used t 4/15/18: I am about halfway through reading this book。 Just finished the Beauties section。 Really enjoying。This book is a compilation of mostly European fairy tales （pulled mainly from the rainbow Fairy Books， Perrault， and the Brothers Grimm） as well as a handful of Middle Eastern stories。 The book is divided into two halves， Beauties and Beasts。 There don't appear to be any of the Basile versions in this book。 On the whole， the stories are therefore darker than what modern audiences are used to reading， but not as dark as they could be。 The version of sleeping beauty in this compilation， for example， has no mention of rape that is in some earlier versions of the tale。）Familiar stories in this edition: Cinderella， Sleeping Beauty， Beauty and the Beast， Rumpelstiltskin， The Frog King （aka The Princess and the Frog）， How to Tell a True Princess （aka The Princess and the Pea）， Snow White and the Seven Dwarves， The Twelve Dancing Princessesupdate 6/15: just finished this one。 The "beasts" half of the book is weaker than the "beauties"， but still enjoyable。 。。。more
