This treasury of 33 classic English fairy tales will delight children and adults alike. Here are familiar and much loved tales like: The History of Tom Thumb; The Story of the Three Bears; and Jack and the Bean-Stalk; that have captivated many generations, along with other English fairy tales that may prove new to today's readers: The Green Knight; The Giant of St Michael's; and Queen Mab's Good Grace. Gorgeously illustrated throughout, this volume is a near replica of the original 1906 edition. While many of the stories are familiar childhood lore, children, adults, and fairy tale enthusiasts will be delighted with some of the old tales that have been forgotten and lost in modern collections.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Illustrations often add to a story!,
By Marjorie J. Dundas (Rutland, VT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fairy Gold: A Book of Classic English Fairy Tales (Hardcover)
Many of these 33 stories will be familiar to one steeped in British fairy tales, but some have been forgotten and are printed here again with very satisfactory illustrations. "The Lambton Worm" tells how the young heir of Lambton Castle caught a loathly worm which grew and grew through the years until it was the scourge of the whole countryside. When the heir of Lambton Castle returned home from the Crusades, he met the worm in a fearsome battle. Robin Goodfellow and Tom Hickathrift are both characterized for us here.
