I miss my copy of this book. Truly foundational for me, and I look back on this book fondly.

Read a good deal of this when I was much younger, though I have no recollection if I ever finished this massive volume. I should like to re-read some of these stories/ tales again sometime in the near future.

I loved reading these books as a kid with my Mother. Such a wonderful collection of stories.

This collection includes many familiar tales such as Cinderella, Rapunzel and a few lesser known ones as well (I had never heard of Why the sea is salt or Billy Beg and His Bull). I also realized there are quite a few versions of some well known tales such as Little Red Riding Hood, probably to make the tales a little less disturbing to young ears.

I think this was my first introduction to "real" fairytales, not the watered-down ones in children's story books or Disney. And I loved it, as I love all fairytales. Quite the book to add to your shelves if you are a fairytale lover like myself.
