Summary: Classic Fairy Tales
Comment: This is by far the best childrens book I have seen. It is a must have for any collection.
I was so impressed I donated it to a local emergency homeless shelter where children reside. www.communityshelter.org
This book is helping to provide be it brief from the stress out of being homeless.

Summary: Surprisingly interesting beyond the fairy tales
Comment: I'm a big fan of fairy tales and a big fan of the "annotated" series. This one has some unusual features that make it a bit more interesting. First of all, these stories are a decent collection of the well-known and not-so-well-known, so the reader can choose to indulge in something familiar like The Three Little Pigs, or maybe something less familiar, like The Juniper Tree. The original illustrations are largely in color and scattered throughout the text, bringing the stories a particular flair and bearing. What sets this book apart are the sections set aside for author and illustrator biographies. Although the kiddies may not appreciate them that much, they are very interesting for the adult reader and again, they add a lot to the enjoyment of the stories. As with the other books in the series (if one can call it that) the dust jacket is very eye-appealing and this really looks good sitting on the shelf with the others, like The Annotated Hans Christian Andersen and The Annotated Brothers Grimm.

Not since Bruno Bettelheim's The Uses of Enchantment has there been such an illuminating contribution to the world of children's fairy tales. The Annotated Classic Fairy Tales celebrates the best-loved stories of childhood through the vision of Maria Tatar, a leading expert in the field of folklore and children's literature. Challenging the notion that fairy tales can be read for their morals and used to make model citizens of little children, Tatar guides readers through the stories, exploring their historical origins, their cultural complexities, and their psychological effects. By providing children with powerful models for navigating reality, Tatar shows, these tales help children survive in a world ruled by adults. Tatar presents twenty-six classic stories—including "Beauty and the Beast," "Little Red Hiding Hood," "Jack and the Beanstalk," and "The Little Mermaid." She has personally retranslated the stories that did not appear originally in English and has also assembled over 300 often rare, mostly four-color photographs, paintings, and illustrations, creating a volume that will rank as one of the finest fairy tale collections in many decades. 350 four-color illustrations.
