This review is from: My Very Own Fairy Stories (Hardcover)
This is a treasured book from my childhood. I remember telling myself at an early age to keep this book to show my kids. Well I lost my copy and finally ordered it to read to my granddaughter.These stories teach morals and are timeless. I highly recommend it.

Good Ole Tales,

This review is from: My Very Own Fairy Stories (Hardcover)
This book, by the author of the Raggedy Ann and Andy series, is a delightful tome of stories appropriate for ages 5 and up. The term "fairy stories" is something of a misnomer, however, as no true fairies appear or even make cameos. Instead, these stories tend to take something from nature (e.g. The Ugly Caterpillar) or something from tradition (e.g. The Discontented King) and spin these people, animals or objects into a nice anecdote to read with your little ones. And the illustrations are gorgeous!
Highly recommended if you like vintage kids books and stories.

Nostalgic,
This review is from: My Very Own Fairy Stories (Hardcover)
The artwork is great. It brings back memories of childhood and for me that was 70 years ago. The stories are simple and moralistic, which is fine with me as I'm not much into todays "anything goes" bit. Excellent for young children and old codgers trying to recapture their childhood. Recommended.
