4.0 out of 5 stars Not the Best Edition, July 8, 2010

D. Scott "BentSea" (Houston) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: American Fairy Tales (Kindle Edition)

This is a wonderful book for anyone with a taste for humorous fantasy. The stories are short and well written. There are no illustrations in this particular edition. Be aware of that, if you like the book enough, and consider finding a more robust printing to love and keep on a book shelf. Ultimately, though, any reader will find an extremely enjoyable read here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stories with a moral AND interesting illustrations, June 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: American Fairy Tales (Dover Children's Classics) (Paperback)

This book gives interesting stories with a moral at the end of each story and has illustrations on each page. The stories vary in length but can be read quickly due to the author's writing style. While different from "Oz" books, these stories are still a lot of fun.
