Fairy Tales book cover
This is a splendid edition of Perraults Fairy Tales. However, I would suggest that it's an edition more suitable for adults interested in illustration than one for children. Dore's engavings are brilliant but horrifying. Like the picture of the ogre about to murder the children in "Tom Thumb". And those for "Little Red Riding Hood" with a very scary wolf sharing a bed with LRRH. However, those for The Sleeping Beauty are absolutely enchanting. This is a book for anyone with even the remotest interest in fairy tales, or the art of illustration. read more.
