Description
Every child (and adult) should have a book like this, a book that provides the timeless stories that are the basis of our collective literary heritage. This collection is beautifully appointed with eight color plates by famed illustrator Jessie Willcox Smith. The collection was originally published in 1911 and retains the language of that time which adds to the fairytale quality. These stories are wondrous, delightful, scary, odd and yet strangely, always familiar. They are part of our collective unconscious, have created many of our archetypes, are the basis of our literature, and comprise a large share of our cultural heritage.
