Quite an experience to read the real thing,

This review is from: The Complete Fairy Tales in Verse and Prose/ L'Integrale des Contes en vers et en prose: A Dual-Language Book (English and French Edition) (Paperback)
It's quite an experience to read these famous fairy tales in Charles Perrault's French. The stories feel completely familiar at the outset, but as you read on, you see a grisly side, as in many other old fairy tales of Europe, e.g. Andersen's and those of the Brothers Grimm. This is not Disneyfied, but it is perfectly easy for all levels of English-speaking French readers to follow, since the translations are on the facing pages (as in all books in this series.

Very good; the book arrived quickly and the book is in excellent condition. No writing, tears or lines. I like this book because it has English on one side and French on the other. It's difficult to not look at the English translations, but I am getting better at this.

This review is from: The Complete Fairy Tales in Verse and Prose/ L'Integrale des Contes en vers et en prose: A Dual-Language Book (English and French Edition) (Paperback)
I loved reading this book first in the English then looking over to sort out the French words. I am just entering college French 201 and I feel like I can separate the more common words but it was very nice to have the English right there on the next page. I didn't have to turn to the back of the book which is nice.
