While I enjoyed this book, I felt each of the stories could have been a little more fleshed out. I understand that fairy tales can be short/more simple, but I've also seen countless instances where such stories were told in a more measured place and with more detail, which I enjoyed immensely.
On a different note, I was a bit disappointed by the art. I loved the cover and the borders, but many of the full page spreads just felt overly simplistic in style. That's definitely just a personal preference, though.
