  A selection of fifteen fairy and folk tales, including The Goose Girl , The Bremen Town Band , Puss in Boots , Cinderella and of course, Rapunzel . What sets this book apart from other fairytale gift books is that the stories have been translated from the original German and French versions - they are not re-tellings - and they have therefore retained the remarkably vivid and sometimes strange quality that characterises these classic tales. Authentic and affecting, this book is startling, dramatic and otherworldly - a fascinating and engrossing read.
