Few little girls can resist a princess. The renowned illustrator, Peter Malone, has created an extraordinary, richly detailed treasury with eight of the most beloved heroines in classic fairy tales. And what heroines they are Spirited and strong-willed, they hold great appeal for the contemporary audience, and are memorably rendered in Malone's distinctive style. He places the stories-- The Princess and the Pea, Rapunzel, The Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, The Twelve Dancing Princesses , and The Frog Prince --in specific eras and locales rather than stereotypical fantasy settings.
My preschool daughter is very into princesses and I searched all over for a good book with the ACTUAL fairy tales in it. This one has turned out to be one of her very favorite books...and mine! The pictures are lovely and the stories are excellently told. Also, I love the fact that in the beginning it mentions how each fairy tale can teach one about virtue and goodness. Excellent, excellent book.
