This book was so nostalgic for me! This was one of my favorite books as a kid. I used to read it on long camping trips. While I was reading it as an adult, it put me right back into that relaxed, kid on vacation with mom place. It is a wonderful book with great morals to the stories.

The most lovely fairy book ever. We have been reading it for years with my daughter. Great and funny bedtime stories, ideal for 4-8 year-old princesses.
