We used to read this as children. We looked at it so much it became dog-eared and we think our mother threw it out. This is absolutely my favorite fairy tale book of all time. I asked my mom for a copy for my birthday one year but none of us could remember the name. She gave me a big fairy tale book, but it didn't have the amazing artwork that I remembered from this one. I just bought a copy on Amazon so I could share it with my kids. I hope they like it as much as we did.:)
This is the most amazing illustrated book of fairy tales. I adored this as a child (a little too much, I might add!). My copy has been well used over the years. The binding has gone, and pages are falling out, but the pages themselves are intact and as amazingly colorful and detailed as ever. Perhaps one day, I may pay to have the binding fixed/rebound.
This is one of my most treasured books, and it still shares a spot on my bookshelf, even at the age of 36.

This book is one of my most precious possessions. My grandmother bought it for me when I was little. The stories are wonderful and great to read aloud to your kids, but the illustrations are the show stoppers here.
Janet & Anne Grahame Johnstone were sisters who worked together to make magic, luminescent paintings. http://www.oklahoma.net/~silvrdal/j&a...
If you're ever at my house you should ask to see it. Wow.

This was my most loved and treasured possession from my childhood, my house recently burned down to the ground and I lost everything- including this book. I just looked it up on Amazon to replace it, n 55-400 dollars???!!!! I am heartbroken there is no way I can afford this! anyone know where I can get it cheaper?
Someone gave our family this book back in the 70's as a Christmas gift. My sister and I wore it out! We LOVED the illustrations and stories - both absolutely MAGICAL! I've been looking for it for years, but I couldn't remember the name. I have bought many fairy tale books over the years, but non have broght back the magic of this one; and many of my favorite stories where not to be found. My sister just found this on goodreads and amazon, as our copy was so worn, our mom threw it out - MUCH to o...more
I am just as enchanted by this book now as I was when I was two years old. The pictures are BEAUTIFUL. I mean that artwork is amazing. I will always have those pictures and stories burned into my soul. Lot's of lessons, lot's of entertainment.
I can't say how much I loved this book as a kid, and still love it. The stories are well-written (and happy-ending-ed) and the artwork is so pretty! I remember looking at it over and over again.
This was a birthday gift a long, long time ago. I just found it in my stuff and remember reading it time and time again when I was young. Definately one of my most treasured books!
My mother bought me this book for Christmas when I was two years old. I have always been captivated by the lush illustrations, and my copy is well-worn and very loved.
Gorgeous illustrations accompany fairy tales both well-known and lesser-known.
I had to hunt down more copies of this to give to my new niece and nephew.

The White Cat was my favorite story growing up
This was my favorite book of fairy tales when I was little in the seventies! The illustrations are so amazing. The book is out of print (a shame) but I was able to buy a copy off ebay for my kids to experience. My overused, pages falling out copy is in our library behind glass doors. I remember spending hours looking at the pictures. My favorite was the story of the White Cat.
