Finally a collection of stories that will scare any 20th or 21st century cild into behaving--just as those of the Grimm Brothers have scared straight so many previous generations.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good stuff in this collection, October 14, 2001

By	Andrew Zimmerman Jones "Science Writer" (Anderson, IN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

An enjoyable collection of fables and fairy tales for the modern child. The stories range from the fantastic to realistic. Each one is chosen with a specific moral or lesson, which is clearly described. I was incredibly impressed with how some of the morals were handled in the stories. None seemed overly preachy, but were extremely entertaining.

Good reading! Full of interesting characters and goose-bump endings. Particularly loved the word-eating Spelkin by D.S.Renzulli and the Beverly Hale and Paul Carlson stories.
