tremendous selection, packaging, and value

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2015

This is a simply outstanding collection of fairy and folk tales from all over the world. Bear in mind that the characteristic violence has been bowdlerized for younger audiences. The 110 stories hail from Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Neolithic traditions of Africa and North America. Plentiful, highly stylized illustrations by such prominent Victorian artists as H. J. Ford grace the text of this handsome, leather-bound volume. The chrestomathy is culled from Lang's set of twelve color-coded "Fairy Books" from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, so you'll find trivial entries known to every four-year-old (e.g., The Three Bears, the Three Little Pigs) plus a wide selection of entirely unusual, albeit hauntingly familiar in motifs, entries from such "off the beaten track" locales as Romania, Afghanistan,Thailand, Portugal, and Lapland. Altogether, this is a most impressive volume and an outstanding value at scarcely twenty bucks!

This is a great collection of the "best" stories from the 12 Fairy Tale books edited by Andrew Lang. This book is a great value and has a beautiful cover in the tradition of these books.This book has some of the old art prints, sadly none of the color plates, but beautiful black and white prints. My nieces and nephews love these stories at story time.

It is a beautiful collection of stories we were read as children

Gave this as a gift to my brother! It is a beautiful collection of stories we were read as children. The illustrations are gorgeous and the book is sturdy and should last for many years to come! The pages have a lovely metallic edge, and the paper is fairly thick (won't tear easily). And the leather cover with embossed details is gorgeous.

This was a birthday request from my discerning 9 year old. How does she know about these things? So I bought it and it's just what she wanted and she loves it. What more can I ask? (It really is beautiful.)

Absolutely beautiful book. The cover is lovely and the gilt edging together make a very handsome and expensive looking gift. The fairy tales are a great selection from many different authors and the print and illustration also beautiful. Does not disappoint.
