"Charming and Refreshing"

This is a beautiful storybook by the author of Raggedy Ann and Andy. The book is a collection of short fairy tales that are sweet, charming, and wonderfully innocent. Some of the tales: The Kind Hearted Ginger Bread Man, The Quarrel of the Winds, and the Ugly Caterpillar who, of course, turns into a beautiful butterfly. The illustrations are exquisite and are done by the immensly art-talented Johnny Gruelle himself. What is most wonderful about this is the language and style of storytelling, and though this version was published in 2000 (original in 1917) they left the spellings, wordings, etc. the same. (Example, spelling Ginger Bread as two words). The stories we loved the most in this book are the simplist ones entitled The Happy Story and Uncle Clem. Though this was written nearly one hundred years ago, it is so refreshing. I think we need more innocence in our current world. Teresa Scott-Wright

take your grandchildren to this fairyland.

This is a treasured book from my childhood. I remember telling myself at an early age to keep this book to show my kids. Well I lost my copy and finally ordered it to read to my granddaughter.These stories teach morals and are timeless. I highly recommend it.
