• Awesome Illustrations 13 December, 2007
I first became acquainted with the "Golden Book of Fairy Tales" back in the 1950s, under the previous title "The Fairy Tale Book." I loved the book, especially the illustrations of Adrienne Segur. I was extremely pleased to see the book go back into print a couple of years ago, and immediately purchased two copies.
I just bought several more copies to give away as Christmas gifts. The illustrations are more than worth the price of the book. In particular, the illustrations to "Kip, the Enchanted Cat" and "The Wild Swans" are powerful in a strange, indescribable way. I recently asked Golden Book Publishing to offer large poster size prints of these illustrations, but never received a reply.
Bottom line: BUY THE BOOK!!! You will not be disappointed.

• Beautiful 19 April, 2008
My daughter is still a bit too young to enjoy this book although she does enjoy the lovely illustrations. I think I really got this book for me : ). I only wish all the illustrations were in full color because the full color pictures are so enchanting. Its really a wonderful book with mesmerizing stories.

• Gorgeous Pictures. 15 April, 2008
This book isn't as well made as the edition I had as a child, but what wonderful pictures! I used to pour over them for hours, finding new details all the time.

• I Love This Book!!!! 06 December, 2007
This book is a classic. I received this book as a gift from my Aunt and Uncle in 1958. I was 4 years old. It introduced me to my favorite fairy tale, "The Tinder Box" which I don't remember seeing in any other fairy tale books. It was my favorite book and I have kept it with me all these years. It sparked my imagination then and still does today, but in a different way. I love this book!!!!

• Tales 25 March, 2008
I purchased this for a young grandchild, and though the illustrations are lovely and interesting, they are
not interspersed among the text but are on separate pages. It is hard to sustain the interest of a young
child without pictures for them to look at. Too much text grouped together. Traditional story telling
is also lacking.
