“I recommend you start with the blue book, because it has most of the best known stories, for example, Aladdin, Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Bluebeard, Puss in Boots. You can check the contents of each book at mythfolklore, and even read the stories online.” – L. Power

“Andrew Lang’s series of fairy-tale books are some of the fundamental children’s reading of the twentieth and late nineteenth century. The stories are not “original”: there’s no such thing when they were almost without exception passed down orally; but they are in old, not very modernized tellings.” – Mike Christie

“(Be warned, they’re *artistic*) these are the original, unaltered by Disney versions, and contain the nightmarish plots they were meant to have. Anyone who collects fairy tales should have this.” – Emily J. Morris

“Not what I anticipated. I bought the set of these to read to my son. As it turns out, fairy tales were very creepy when these were written. So they might be good for teenagers, but they will really freak you out when you read them thinking they were for kids.” – Bryan D.

“I thought I had found a cute fairy tale book for my grand-daughters but it wasn’t at all! It is several stories and not cute, fairy stories!” – Linda S. Potts
