The Classic Treasury of Princess Fairy Tales

by Margaret Clark, Peter Malone

Few little girls can resist a princess. The renowned illustrator, Peter Malone, has created an extraordinary, richly detailed treasury with eight of the most beloved heroines in classic fairy tales. And what heroines they are! Spirited and strong-willed, they hold great appeal for the contemporary audience, and are memorably rendered in Malone's distinctive style. He places the stories-- The Princess and the Pea, Rapunzel, The Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, The Twelve Dancing Princesses , and The Frog Prince --in specific eras and locales rather than stereotypical fantasy settings.

Reviews

[Leah · Rating 3 out of 5]

This simple collection of princess stories has an illustrations for each tale. I think this book would appeal to girls who are fascinated by princesses. The writing was okay nothing spectacular but over a decent collection of fairytales.
