5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent collection for Kids and Adults, great strong women, January 12, 2000

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Strange Things Sometimes Still Happen: Fairy Tales from Around the World (Paperback)
This is an excellent book which I highly reccomend. Carter has collected folk tales from a wide variety of sources and cultures which have strong female characters in them. She uses the more orally based tales, rather than literary creations, which gives the stories some real zest. Instead of a collection of didatic stories about good feminist heroines, this is a collection of stories about strong women, both good and bad. Their craftiness may save their home or allow them to cheat their way to glory. I adore this collection, and reccomend highly to parents who want to give their children something to read that doesn't have namby pamby princesses who wait around to be rescued, or adults who loved fairy tales as a child.

I am very pleased with the book I ordered and received. I buy many used/out of print titles and it is hard to know what you might get. This one came with 5 business days and in great shape for what I paid for it!!!!!! It will make a very nice addition to my library.Thank you so much and I will use this dealer again!
