The story in here I enjoyed the most is the only one considered to not be a fairy tale, The Canterville Ghost. I found this quite fun.
The others were not quite what I expected. The religious content was a surprise. And the shying away from happy endings felt quite brutal.
I read this with the intention of then giving it to my daughter to read, but now I'm not so sure that she'll find them enjoyable.
