Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

The Comtesse de Segur wrote these stories at 58 years old in the late 1800's. They certainly still hold up today. My mother grew up reading a very first edition printed in the US in 1921. She read it to me and when she passed away she left the same book to me. I have read it to my children and hope to read it to my grandchildren soon.
READ THIS BOOK, it is wonderful!

I very first read this book when I was 12 years old. I read the portuguese version because I bought it in Brazil.
The stories are absolutely enchanting and have a rare quality that certain books have where you get completely captivated by the characters and their adventures.
I read it over and over throughout my teenage years and as an adult I have been reading it on Christmas to my daughters. It is a great gift to have such an inspirational book in our family.

Actually, I own the original hardcover edition of this book-published in the early 1920's or so.
It should be a collector's item, because the stories were very well done-very rich and descriptive. The moral tone is also very interesting-with definite rewards for good and kind behaviour {and also for bad and cruel}. Worth getting-especially if they have the original illustrations-very beautiful, in the orginal!
I will undoubtably be buying a copy for my nieces, since my copy is rather delicate-but I do want them to read and love these stories, as I have.
