This collection covers all there is to fairytales. You have mostly the basic plot with a kingdom, a princess, a soldier, a witch and some magic spell or a talking animal.
That’s basically it. That’s all there is to these fairytales. They felt so repetitive after reading a couple that I skipped a bunch just to enjoy myself. Don’t get me wrong it’s a beautiful collection and I think children would love hearing the stories. Unfortunately, in this age and time it’s better for some stories to be buried. The way POV’s are treated is just not good. Women are portrayed as these helpless creatures that are only good for bearing children and marriage. So to say it shortly most of these stories don’t hold up as good as I thought they would. Lastly, I always thought the point of a fairytale is that it has to a moral to the story. The greedy man learns that it’s better to live with less, the vain mother learns that beauty comes from within, stuff like that. Well I was surprised that of all the stories I read there wasn’t as much moral as I thought there would be.
A beautiful edition on your shelves but something that doesn’t hold up with the age of time. ( )
