Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars A must have   October 31, 2008
This is a must have book if you are interested in fairy tales. I especially enjoyed the morals which are written in rhyming verse at the end of each story, my favourite was the LRRH moral. Brilliant!


5 out of 5 stars Brilliant Horror   December 6, 2007
This is a splendid edition of Perraults Fairy Tales. However, I would suggest that it's an edition more suitable for adults interested in illustration than one for children. Dore's engavings are brilliant but horrifying. Like the picture of the ogre about to murder the children in "Tom Thumb". And those for "Little Red Riding Hood" with a very scary wolf sharing a bed with LRRH. However, those for The Sleeping Beauty are absolutely enchanting. This is a book for anyone with even the remotest interest in fairy tales, or the art of illustration.


4 out of 5 stars Very Good   December 3, 2006
The tales themselves are, of course, beautiful, and appear in a large well-spaced font, so children should be well able to read them. As a children's book, however, I would say that the illustrations are firstly black and white, and, secondly, that there's not that many of them there. That shouldn't dissuade you too much, though.


4 out of 5 stars Excellent book   July 4, 2006

This book is lovely, but not really suitable for younger children. The pictures are wonderful pencil drawings and the stories seem to be original tales, with no Jazzy endings thrown in.
