“Sara and Stephen Corrin are well known as the editors of a number of distinguished and very popular anthologies, including The Faber Book of Christmas Stories, A Time to Laugh, and a series of age-graded story collections ranging from Stories for Under-Fives to Stories for Tens and Over.
They have now chosen twenty-six of the best-loved fairy tales to make a delightfully varied collection, ranging from the magical simplicity of Grimm and the elegant wit of Perrault to the down-to-earth humour of Joseph Jacobs and the elaborate fantasy of the Arabian Nights, translated from the French version which introduced these tales to Europe.  Fifteen exquisite full-page illustrations in colour and colour decorations by the Kate Greenaway Award winner Juan Wijngaard help make this book for the whole family, and a volume to treasure.”
