Wabi Sabi Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 My dd is really into fairy tales lately and has been spending hours listening to the Andrew Lang audiobooks. I'd love to get her a book of fairy tales for Christmas, something really beautiful and special, the kind of book that she would keep forever. Think leather bound, gorgeous illustrations, gilded pages, etc. Any suggestions? Do you know of any volumes of fairy tales that are particularly well done and beautifully presented?

Penguin Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I bought this Grimm volume recently. It is really pretty, but not terribly expensive: https://www.brainpickings.org/2011/09/28/brothers-grimm-fairy-tales-taschen/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MercyA Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I know this isn't quite what you're looking for, but if anyone else is into fairy tales, K.Y. Craft's picture books are absolutely gorgeous. OP, hope you find the perfect volume for your daughter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Any suggestions? Do you know of any volumes of fairy tales that are particularly well done and beautifully presented? When my daughter was young, I can remember loving some of Jane Ray's illustrated books. These two I remember in particular since the illustrations included a lot of gold. Unfortunately, they're out of print, but perhaps you can pick up a used copy or borrow them from your library. Magical Tales from Many Lands by Margaret Mayo and Jane Ray Earth, Fire, Water, Air by Mary Hoffman and Jane Ray Here are a few of her books that are available new in hardback: Cinderella by Jane Ray Twelve Days of Christmas by Jane Ray Ahmed and the Feather Girl by Jane Ray Ahmed and the Feather Girl by Jane Ray Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
