Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
This collection of children's stories is likely to enchant adults as much as it will youngsters. Filled with traditional fairytales, yarns, and fables, these are the stories that have been passed down through the generations: "Hansel and Gretel," "The Ugly Duckling," and "Red Riding Hood" to name but three. The tales have not been tailored for the sake of political correctness, or spiced up for a '90s audience. These are the unabridged works of the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, and other legendary authors from this genre. There is no room left in the book for illustrations--just page after page of classic story. --Naomi Gesinger

Good stories but...,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Child's Book of Stories (Children's Classics) (Hardcover)
As this is a children's book, I was quite surprised and disappointed that it contains no illustrations whatsoever. The type is also very uninspired. These stories can be found in books that are much more collectable and fun to look at as well as read. As a collector of fairy tales, Märchen, and other stories, I was not very impressed.

I will cherish this book forever,
By "algernons_aquaintance" (Miami, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Child's Book of Stories (Children's Classics) (Hardcover)
Some of my fondest (and only) memories of early childhood are of being read to by my mother from this book. All of the classics are here, including the Grimm fairy tales. The stories are absolutely wonderful, and they will hold a place in your (or your child's) heart for as long as you live.
