[Yinzadi]

I've tried to look carefully and I'm pretty sure this is not on goodreads.

* Title: Snow White and Rose Red: A Favorite Fairy Tale
A Little Golden Book (#228 if I am reading the worldcat information correctly, which is also the number in the top right-hand corner of the front cover of my own copy, though I don't known enough about Little Golden Books to know what it stands for)

* Author(s) name(s): Gustaf Tenggren
* ISBN (or ASIN): (couldn't find one)
* Publisher: Simon and Schuster
* Publication date: 1955
* Format: Hardcover
* Description: (couldn't find one)
* Link to cover: (the ninth image down) http://castleofcostamesa.com/puppet-s...

Based on the cover it is called "Tenggren's Snow White and Rose Red"

It's a board book, like all these childrens books, not hardcover.

and it's 28 pages long.

I think its a non ISBN books.

[Yinzadi]

Tenggren is the illustrator so I didn't include his name as part of the title, though if it's better to include it then of course that's fine.

My copy is hardcover, not a board book. Most of the Little Golden Books I have are not board books.

I didn't give a page number as it wasn't requested, but the pages of my copy are unnumbered.

Thank you!

One thing I see that might need to be fixed, I believe the book is #228, not #288.

[Krystal109]

LOL. Typo. I will fix that.

Out of curiosity do you know where there is a good list of these. I'd like to put them all in a series.

[Yinzadi]

You mean Little Golden Books? The most extensive list I'm familiar with is here, though it's organized alphabetically and not by publication date: http://goldenbook.com/article.php?sto...

I think I read somewhere that there have been 1,400 Little Golden Books published so far, and that list has 1,144, so it's probably not complete. But I don't know much at all about this subject. If anyone knows of a better list, I'd be interested as well!

Those are an imprint, not a series.

[Krystal109]

Oh. Interesting.

Aren't some of them in series though?

[rivka, Former Moderator]

Not sure what you mean.

[Krystal109]

I don't know. I think I would need an example, but thanks for the info rivka.

Little Golden Books are not board books. Board books use stiff paperboard/cardboard for the pages.

Here is a very good explanation of the difference.

Little Golden books are hardcover picture books with regular printed paper pages.

I have changed this one accordingly.

With Gustaf Tenggren being just the illustrator, should it maybe have Brothers Grimm as the primary author?

[rivka, Former Moderator]

He's probably also the adaptor, though. That's not the words of the Grimm tale.

[Krystal109]

Thanks vicki. I totally forgot that and for some reason my memory of these things is fuzzy. This is what happens when you haven't seen one of those books for years and have no kids. I was referencing out another source that was incorrect. Thanks for the fix.

Yes, he is the adaptor and a common author when it comes to Little Golden Books, from what i read on wikipedia. Like many other fairy tales, they have been rewritten many times throughout history by different people that present different versions of a story.
