Seeker of Schole Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I am looking for a book recomendation for fairy tales and fables. I would like something that stays true to original story line, with beautiful language, but with pictures. I have a copy of the Blue Fairy book on my Kindle, but I am looking for something a little more picture book-ish. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica_in_Switzerland Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Disclaimer- I have never seen this book- but This edition of the Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm has been in my amazon cart for a while now!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
three4me Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Are you looking for a volume of stories, or picture books for individual fairy tales? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I like this illustrated version: http://www.amazon.com/Fairy-Tales-Jan-Pienkowski/dp/0670061891/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1346875795&sr=1-3&keywords=jan+pienkowski I also like the KY Craft and Paul Zelinsky picture book versions. And the Trina Schart Hyman Little Red Riding Hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker of Schole Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Are you looking for a volume of stories, or picture books for individual fairy tales? Either, so long as the language is not simplified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
three4me Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Here are some we enjoy: Sleeping Beauty The Elves and the Shoemaker Rumplestiltskin The Twelve Dancing Princesses Cinderella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne J Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 A few more: Snow White The Tale of the Firebird The Sea King's Daughter Little Red Riding Hood Pretty much anything from the authors/illustrators Spirin, Craft, Zelinsky, or Schart Hyman are gorgeous, well written, traditional and loved at our house.
