Different spins make this one fun

With very original drawings and fun stories, Favorite Fairy Tales told in Ireland, retold by Virginia Haviland is a good buy. It gives the reader a different view of folklore than the traditional stories usually told in the US by adding different spins. Overall I feel this is a good book to own in a library collection.
