In this lovely collection of twenty fairy tales there's a brilliant range of stories. There are familiar favourites, such as ''Sleeping Beauty'' and ''Hansel and Gretel'', but then there are others which were new to me such as ''The Three Oranges'' and ''The Thirteenth Child''. There's something for everyone really, with princess stories, witches and frogs, magical items and mysterious happenings!
This would make a super present, particularly for a girl I think, because of the many princesses within the stories, although I think boys would also enjoy some of them too if they could get over the shiny pink writing on the cover! Great for confident readers to enjoy by themselves, or for sharing with those around four or older who enjoy listening to beautiful stories.
This book could be shelved next to [[Great Stories from British History by Geraldine McCaughrean and Richard Brassey]]. You might also enjoy this collection of princess stories [[Magical Princess Stories by Margaret Mayo, Geraldine McCaughrean, Rose Impey, Andrew Matthews, Jane Ray, Ian Beck, Angela Barrett, Emma Chichester Clark and Alan Snow]]
