As I cleared out the massive amounts of books, I came across this. I am rather certain it was int he boxes from my sister. This is a collection of 12 classic fairy tales. There is nothing remarkable about this, but it is a classic anthology. For that, it is worthy of my praise.
Nine of the tales were quite familiar to me. Three, however, were new to me: Mr. Samson Cat, The Flying Trunk, and Mr. Bun. Mr. Bun was the most humorous, but all were fine.

Fifteen short fairy tales, "selected, edited and illustrated" by Tasha Tudor. Most were familiar to me, but a couple were new to me and that was neat. While I don't think this collection is notable in terms of story content, it is worth checking out for the gorgeous illustrations. I love her style - that is really why I picked up the book in the first place. 3.5 stars.
Published in 1969, this is one of my treasured possessions from my childhood. I read it many times as a child, and I'm reading it again to my children now. It is so lovely! It makes me happy to share it with my babies. I've already warned Timo and Emma not to even CONSIDER keeping this book when they leave home. I suppose I'll need to bequeath it in my will...
This was one of my most favorite children books, and helped me fall in love with books for life. This book is one of my all-time favorites not because of the classic stories included, but because of the sumptuous illustrations by Tudor. Both ethereal and haunting, Tudor's illustrations bring all stories in this collection to life.
I grew up loving Tasha Tudor's books. Her illustrations were so lovely and soft. And I was enchanted that her given name was really Starling! I was saddened to learn of her death this past year (6/08). She was something of an institution, wasn't she?
I've owned this book since I was about 3 years old and saved it for my daughter who loves it just as much as I did. I love Tudors illustrations and her gentle way of story telling.

A simply gorgeously illustrated book! I've had this book since childhood & I still love it.
I loved the stories but it was much more about the gorgeous Tudor illustrations.
Tasha Tudor, the renowned picture book artist, collected and illustrated this charming book of classic fairy tales. Stories from Andersen, Perrault and Grimm are included in the collection. Tasha Tudor's lovely illustrations capture the charm and romance of each tale.
I almost forgot this one! I had it when I was a little girl, and the illustrations were incredibly beautiful. This is one every kid should have.

I think this was my first book of fairy tales, and a lovely book, although not as user friendly to a new reader as others.
A beauty of a book that i have had since I was 6 or so. Definitely traditional, but also with Tasha's trademark softness.
The pictures are beautiful, of course!
One of my favorites as a kid.
