Super nostalgic stories for me. I really enjoyed learning about the original story behind the little mermaid.

I read this compilation ostensibly for The Little Mermaid, which was in the Classic Group short story read for the month. I quite enjoyed all these tales, but especially liked that the heroine in The Snow Queen was a girl, and also enjoyed The Steadfast Tin Soldier

Of course I had to read this book! 

The Emperor's New Clothes- if you don't know yourself, you'll fall for whatever 
The Nightingale- true friendship means forgiveness
The Little Mermaid- oh boy! Let's talk.  Possibly a movement through stages of life.  Female sexuality? 
Thumbelina- a story of unrequited love.  
The Ugly Duckling- more about a fluke change than acceptance of being. So go find your flock!
