Fantastic.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Grey Fairy Book (Dover Children's Classics) (Paperback)
"The Grey Fairy Book" is a marvelous collection of tales from Eastern Europe, Africa, and Islamic countries. Once again we get to visit, the horrible, fantastic world of the fairy tale, complete with amazing drawings. These are the *unknown* tales that Disney ignores, but are beautiful in their own right. This is a must have for any collector or anyone who still needs their fairy tales. Who can outgrow these things?

Excellent source of fairy and folk tales,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Grey Fairy Book (Dover Children's Classics) (Paperback)
All of the 12 Andrew Lang Color Fairy Tale Books are excellent sources of fairy and folk tales from around the world. Although they include many of the more familiar tales from Grimm, Perreault, and Andersson, they also contain stories from Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, as well as from native tribes of North, Central and South America. The diversity of tales provide a window into the originating cultures. I obtained the Dover editions in 1972 and have enjoyed reading and re-reading them for the last quarter century.

Give the gift of beauty to children,
This review is from: Grey Fairy Book (Hardcover)
Amazon's rating of the "Reading level: Baby-Preschool" is not correct. Young people should be exposed to the beauty of good stories and art because it helps them to appreciate the finer thing. This series is a perfect tool to do this.
