    <body><![CDATA[I'm a sucker for fairytales and these take the cake. They're easy to read but beautiful. When it comes to my overactive imagination and inability to get writer's block, I have collections like these to thank/blame. <br/>I think they're timeless and I enjoyed them just as much (if not more) when I r...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45072644">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This set of four volumes appeared in the house around Christmas, perhaps being presented as a present.  This English edition was published in the place of the author's birth.<br/><br/>Although I started reading the stories immediately, it was probably years before I finished them, years which invo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76972549">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I still have the copy from my childhood, illustrated by Arthur Szyk. His illustrations emphasize the  sad &amp; creepy aspects of the stories in a way that gave me chills when I was a kid, and still kind of creep me out.  I'm going to have to re-read my book, now that I've added it to my GR collection.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Some stories were a bit dull, but some were pretty good. My favorite stories from this book were the Little Mermaid, the Snow Queen and the Emperor's New Clothes. My least favorite was What the Moon Saw. There's not even a story there! Just a bunch of random scenes being described.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm currently reading both Grimm's and Hans Christian Anderson, and while some of Anderson's stories are amazing--especially &quot;The Little Mermaid,&quot; I have enjoyed Grimm's better.  Though they get a little repetitive, they are much more interesting and less didactic than Anderson's.  While m...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18578376">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Favorite all time fairy tale: Little Mermaid. Over the years I read and owned different collections or illustrated stories of Hans Christian Andersen, but as an adult, I really wanted the complete tome of works.  Andersen shares the spotlight with Bros. Grimm in the fairytale genre with but distingu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1069364">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Andersen's brilliantly weird, beautiful and often disturbing.  This edition is fine, and has footnotes that are interesting, but I much prefer my childhood edition, which had wonderfully eerie color plates.  Fairy tales ought always to be illustrated, in my opinion.]]></body>
