Best Books of the Month

I bought this book from Amazon.in at a hefty price of INR 1500; it had only been published in July 2013 and had no buyer reviews so I bought it based on Amazon's recommendation. The book indeed has great time-tested stories but these seem to have been translated from a foreign language text. There is no fluidity or narration in the text and the language is just too academic & mature, you start reading it to the kid and then realize that actually you will have to read it alone and then summarize to the kid in your own way, the book is just not readable directly to the kid, unless you just want him to browse through the beautiful illustrations.
To top it all, the book has severe issues with typesetting & printing. In order to squeeze-in more stories fewer than 100 pages the publishers perhaps forgot to target the real audience of this book, viz. the kids. The book seems to have been composed in Microsoft Word by an amateur, with ugly borders on all pages (except those containing pictures) and huge margins left on all sides. The line spacing and font size is so low it seems someone was given a task to blindly push a story on to a limited number of pages.
The book has issues even in its various editions, for example on Page 62 the French edition has the remaining text for the story put properly (see [...]) while in the US/UK edition (and in the one I got) the page has no text at all as due to paragraph spacing issue the entire text was pushed to the previous page (see [...]).
I was disappointed at the quality of the book and returned it (the seller initially refused to return it saying it was an imported "Print on Demand" book and the printing problems owe to the fact that books are no more printed on traditional offset machines. They advised me to take it up with the publishers directly. I therefore filed an A-Z claim and Amazon got me a refund through the seller).

I bought this book from an independent bookseller, not from amazon.com. It is a gorgeous book, and my 4.5 year old gives it his rapt attention. I did not see any of the translation or printing issues described by the other review. I saw the low review when looking to find a similar book to add to our collection.

To me, this is one of those books that you buy just to have it sit on the coffee table. After receiving my copy of the book, I was very disappointed to find that it only includes Volume 2 of the Grimm's tales--d.h. it only contains the works from 87 to 200 and the 10 specified children's tales while omitting most of the more famous tales. Also, the font is very archaic and can be quite hard to read at times. S is written, I believe, three different ways depending on where it is in the word and thereby, if you are not a native speaker or a very strong speaker of German, you will get lost while trying to read the stories. Beyond that though, this is a very aesthetic work and a quite enjoyable read. Though I only gave it two stars (due to font and omission of volume 1), I would still recommend the work simply to have. It makes a fantastic discussion piece to say the least!
