Tales of Princesses and Princes Volume 1 by Sonal Panse
4.0
One magical summer (pun intended), I spent my spare time reading all twelve of Andrew Lang's fairy books. This collection of stories took me back to that time, mostly because they are based off of select stories from Lang's books, but also because they are classic fairy tales.
And yet, they seemed like new stories to me. Sonal Panse has retold them with charm and flair, while still keeping their fairy tale feel. The last story, The Blue Parrot, was especially good, even though I have read Lang's version before. Also, I loved the beautiful illustrations at the start of each chapter.
It has been a while since the summer when I read all those fairy tales, and I had almost forgotten how enchanting fairy tales are (pun absolutely intended). This book has reminded me. And I hope it will remind you, too.
