This is a beautiful fairy tale book with colour and grey and white drawn pictures depicting the characters from each of the stories. A must have book in any home or library. I had a copy when I was young and was thrilled to be able to purchase a copy in great condition compared to my very read copy. I have read my original and now my newer copy to my children and look forward to reading to future family members.

How grateful I was, in the 1990s, to find that this gem of a children's book had been reissued. I very first encountered the large-format volume as a child in the 1960s, and remember being thrilled by the lush yet sensitive illustrations, as well as by the wonderful retelling of these charming fairly tales--among them French, Russian, and Japanese classics. The illustrations by Adrienne Segur, some in color, others in pencil, are remarkable for their beauty and rich detail. If the exquisitely large-eyed, soulful faces of her fairy-tale heroines are primarily drawn from the same mold, the other elements of the paintings and drawings are unique to the stories being told.
I highly recommend this lovely book for children of 6 or 7 years and older. The wealth of text might be difficult for a beginning reader to deal with.

I received this book in 1959 from my Aunt and Uncle when I turned 4. The illustrations are beautiful and seem magical. I was surprised and pleased to see it offered on Amazon. This book started my lifelong love of reading and would STILL make a wonderful gift for young and old!

While the whole quality of the book is great -- printed in Italy, good binding, large type, heavy paper -- my favorite aspect is the broad variety of stories in the collection. Fairy tales from all over the world, representing many different cultures (though primarily European and Japanese), gives it a great well-considered "best of" quality to it. No doubt you can think of some stories that have been left out, but whatever might not have been included, this book doesn't suffer because of it.
I have absolutely no complaints about this book.

My daughter is still a bit too young to enjoy this book although she does enjoy the lovely illustrations. I think I really got this book for me : ). I only wish all the illustrations were in full colour because the full colour pictures are so enchanting. Its really a wonderful book with mesmerizing stories.
