Fairy Tales Every Child Should Know by Hamilton Wright Mabie

4.0

A collection of short stories, some of them I wasn't sure of and wondered why they were in there? Like the second story of Sinbad the sailor - surely that's better to read in the context of the Sinbad stories? Nevertheless I really enjoyed these stories. Some of them I remember from childhood and it's nice that these are more like the originals in that Red Riding Hood gets eaten and not rescued - goldilocks is actually Silverhair etc.

I would have replaced some of the stories or changed the order but I still enjoyed reading these classic fairy tales.
