The imaginations of children throughout time have been formed and nurtured by stories passed down from generation to generation. Of the countless genres of stories, fairy tales often conjure the most vivid fantastical worlds and ideas, which cultivate creativity and bring elements of magic back into the real world. Many of these fairy tales have been collected over time into hundreds of memorable collections. However, the ones commonly considered most notable are the Fairy Books compiled by famous Scottish novelist and poet Andrew Lang.

Customers find the book’s content nice and a nice collection of classic fairy tales. They describe it as lovely and beautiful for older kids who don’t need pictures anymore.

Some find the illustrations lovely with a simple illuminated manuscript design, while others say there are only eight illustrations out of 403 pages.
