An Illustrated Treasury of Grimm's Fairy Tales: Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Hansel and Gretel and many more classic stories (Daniela Drescher Anthologies)

My son and I thoroughly enjoy reading these tales. They are beautifully illustrated. Would recommend

I bought this for my little boy who has been learning about traditional tales at school. I looked through a lot of books - many of the stories had been re-written, or interpreted by modern authors. I found one which had Rapunzel spending the night with the prince and getting pregnant...!!! I just wanted a collection of the best known fairy tales, which were true to the original stories and also nicely illustrated. This book had it all! There are 30 stories, some better known than others. The illustrations are simply beautiful, they are stunning!! The tales are pretty traditional in theme...Red Riding Hood does get eaten by the wolf, and the huntsman does cut the wolf open to save her and her Grandmother!! So maybe for some it's a little brutal, my six year old did gasp a bit but wasn't distressed at all and I remember just "accepting" the darkness of these traditional tales without being upset when I was little - indeed, one of the objectives of a fairy tale is to allow children to experience fear in a safe environment. I would definitely recommend this book, and at the current price I don't think there is anything else on the market to compare. I love it, and so do my two little boys!

I bought this for my grandchildren, aged 9, 7 and 5. The eldest, my grand-daughter, loves it and says it's a great book, and she can't read the stories fast enough! I had a book of Grimms fairy stories myself as a child but this is a beautiful looking book that all children would love to read, and be enthralled by the stories and the pictures. Definitely recommend it.

Arrived promplty. Well packaged. Bought for my grandson. What a beautiful book. Really great font with stunning illustrations for each story. Looking forward to sitting down with my Grandson reading this.

Classic stories in their original form rather the sanitised Disney form, which is a bit confronting. Also with one colour picture per story I don't think it is exactly right for my 5-year-old yet but I'm sure we will come back to this book when he is a bit older.

This was bought for a 3 year old granddaughter with the hope that the parents will read the classic stories with their beautiful illustrations and everyone is a winner.

I've been searching for a decent collection of Grimm's Fairy Tales for a few months. Many are clumsily rewritten or without illustrations. This is both lovely in the writing and illustrations. My four year old loves it and I'm loving rereading tales my grandparents read to me as a child. Although more expensive than some of the other compliations out there, it is worth the extra money.

It's excellent, I loved Grimms fairy tales as a child and it's amazing to read them again to my kids.
