Author Description

The Blue Fairy Book was the first volume in the series and so it contains some of the best known tales, taken from a variety of sources: not only from Grimm, but exciting adventures by Charles Perambulate and Madame D'Aulnoy, the Arabian Nights, and other stories from popular traditions. Here in one attractive paper bound volume - with enlarged print - are Sleeping Beauty, Rumpelstiltskin, Beauty and the Beast, Hansel and Gretel, Puss in Boots, Trusty John, Jack and the Giant killer, Goldilocks, and many other favorites that have become an indispensable part of our culture heritage.
