The World's Best Fairy Tales: a Reader's Digest Anthology Hardcover

I lost everything in the Campfire. I was given this book at 5 years old by my Grandma. I have been looking for this book for almost 4 years. Thank you so much for the beautiful book that reminds me of my childhood. The condition of the book is excellent.

This is the fairy tale book I grew up with way back in the day and I LOVED it. It is out of print now but Amazon Marketplace was able to provide a list of multiple sellers. These are the fairy tales told as originally intended - with some scary things to teach lessons to those reading them. My son (who never enjoyed fairy tales as a young child) had me read him one a night after this book arrived. The robbers cut up Cassim and nail his body to the walls of the cave in Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves and with each step the Little Mermaid takes it feels as if she is treading on sharp knives and pointed daggers. This is an anthology and there are fairy tales from all over the world here.

I was so happy to find this book on Amazon. I had a copy many years ago, but gave it away to a pregnant friend. I like this book because it contains all of the expected fairy tales but it also includes a lot of the more obscure tales as well. It also doesn't "sanitize" the stories as some distorted movies have recently changes these tales. An excellent book for readers who enjoy these tales and people who read to children (might want to check the endings first).

Exactly like the one my mom had as I was growing up!

I am so pleased to find this book. It was a childhood favorite. It arrived earlier than expected and was in the condition advertised. I'm very pleased with the seller.

I had this book when I was a child over 30 years ago. Unfortunately, I disposed of it and wished I had a copy when my son was born. I was so happy to have found someone still selling copies. It was shipped in brand new condition. Great seller.

I had this book when I was young. It's nice to be able to see it again.

Good buy. The cost is revised and it's too costly. One of the best books from Readers digest.
