No Frills Fairy Tales March 31, 2009
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is collection of well known fairy tales by Grimm's and others, with an introductory on the history and importance of fairy tales for children. Most of them would benefit from illustrations, but if you just want the text, it's fine. Since I plan on handmaking a picture-book for my nieces, it suits my purpose. I do wish the Table of Contents was clickable, however.

The book includes:

One Eye, Two Eyes, Three Eyes
The Magic Mirror
Hansel and Grethel
The Story of Aladdin
The White Cat
The Second Voyage of Sinbad
The Golden Goose
The Twelve Brothers
Tom Thumb
Cinderella
Puss in Boots
Blue Beard
Sleeping Beauty
Jack and the Beanstalk
Little Red Riding Hood
Jack the Giant Killer
The Three Bears
The Princess On The Pea
The Ugly Duckling
Beauty and the Beast

Navigation for this ebook as well as others without active table of contents is simplified by adding your own highlight on the story title or chapter # as it first comes up. I got this version yesterday eventhough my wife has it on her kindle and complained about no table of contents. Last night as I was reading the stories, I highlighted the story title as if first appeared on the screen. After doing this several times, I went to view your notes/highlights, and lo and behold there they were with location # and title, highlight the title and press the 5 way control and you are now at the beginning of the story..... great for re-reading those stories to those grandkids who always want to hear the story again and again and again.
Hope this helps to all who are concerned about "No Active Table of Contents".

fun pass-time March 28, 2009
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This volume contains a number of fairy-tales that adults will "recognize" as they are similar to popular favorites (i.e. Cinderella, etc.), but it also had some good ones that I had never heard.

It was a little different than the classic fairy tales but I loved it and I am enjoying reading a twist on the stories that I love. My kids enjoy them too.

Fairy Tales that every child SHOULDN'T know
I enjoyed the book, but I found that many of the stories are very sexist and very violent. Alladin and Ali Babba and the 40 theives are 2 of the most violent. Read more

Fairy tales
We knew some of the fairy tales already, but it appears to me that this book is more for the US market as the spelling is US English and not Great Britain English!
