 Short but Not Sweet November 16, 2008
I recently purchased the book "The Random House Book of Fairy Tales", thinking that it would be a good representation of some of the most famous fairy tales in history. While the selection of tales was very impressive (and the reason why I felt comfortable buying this book) I was very dissappointed by how the stories were edited. I felt that the endings came abruptly and that parts of the body of the stories were trunkated and at times disconnected.
I would recommend searching further if you want to find a more throrough representation of these selections.
 Love, Love, Love this book! February 17, 2008
Every child should have this book. All three of my children love this book. They take turns picking the story we read and then we discuss it ( how it differs from the "movie" version, etc). Absolutely wonderful. Our favorite book for our children.
pretty good January 23, 2007
It's got a great collection of fairy tales. They might be different from the watered down versions from child hood but most aren't that graphic. I liked it.
A perfect collection of Fairy Tales November 10, 2006

 Scary stories and pictures September 1, 2006
2 out of 7 found this review helpful
I felt the pictures were frightening along with the books references to blood, jealousy, envy, killing, dying, and in the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, there is reference to killing and removing the lungs and liver for the Queen. I think this is really scary stuff for children and totally inappropriate. Can't there be beautiful fairy tales without the fear, horror and violence, and always a prince coming to the rescue of the helpless princess.
