Bad Condition

This book was supposed to be in good condition instead it's in very poor condition..

This books is GORGEOUS. <3 <3

This book is beauuuutiful. The paperback version is made of some kind of leather, which makes it flexible and easy to manipulate to read it more comfortably, and the words on the cover are printed in it so you can feel the texture. I LOVE IT. <3. Now, the translations are a bit different. As if a modern english story, not the english used before. Example, instead of starting as "Once upon a time", the stories would start with "There was once". The name of some tales are also different. Like "The Prince who feared nothing" in this book is "The king's son who feared nothing". And so on with some other tale names. Just letting you know in case this matters to you, and you prefer the unabridged version. Also, I really wish I could find volume I from this same editor, to have the 2 volumes as a collection.
