Call of the Wild

Hans Christian Andersen

This is the eleventh book in the series The Best Books Of Fairy Tales. Originally published in in the early 20th century, this book contains the most famous and favourite works of the great storyteller. The tales of Andersen are so distinctive that they stand out sharply among the works of other fairy tale writers. Although they have a lot of sorrow and sadness, through their poetry and beauty in every soul awaken most warm and bright feeling.

Book 11 - Andersen's Fairy Tales

The Best Books of Fairy Tales

Charles Perrault

ILLUSTRATED EDITION It is to Perrault that we owe our acquaintance with the greater number of good old-fashioned fairy-tales, but an edition of these, although it includes such intimate friends of our childhood as Blue Beard, the Sleeping Beauty, and Little Red Riding-Hood, is hardly complete without "Beauty and the Beast"; a version of this tale, by Mme. Le Prince de Beaumont, has, therefore, been added to this collection. It has also been increased, space permitting it, by the insertion of two tales by Mme. la Comtesse d'Aulnoy; her writings, of a less robust class than those of Perrault, possess in their atmosphere of hidden magic, the charm which resides in that special feature of fairyland, and the addition of "The Benevolent Frog" and "Princess Rosette" will not, we think, be unwelcome to the youthful reader. CONTENT THE SLEEPING BEAUTY IN THE WOOD LITTLE RED RIDING-HOOD BLUE BEARD MASTER CAT; OR, PUSS IN BOOTS THE FAIRIES CINDERELLA; OR, THE LITTLE GLASS SLIPPER RIQUET WITH THE TUFT LITTLE THUMBLING BEAUTY AND THE BEAST THE BENEVOLENT FROG PRINCESS ROSETTE

Book 25 - Tales of Passed Times

Jacob Grimm

Wilhelm Grimm

German writers, the Brothers Grimm, Wilhelm and Jacob, practically created their own fairy-tale world in the 18th century. It is very many-sided - here are the heroes of the animal world, people, and very fabulous, invented characters. Many fairy tales have a folk basis, originate in ancient folk legends and stories. They were recorded by brothers, processed, and as a result, the heroes of these tales fell in love with young and adult readers from all countries of the world. These tales constitute the golden fund of European, world and German folklore studies.

Book 9 - Grimm's Fairy Stories

L. Baum

The story chronicles the adventures of a young farm girl named Dorothy in the magical Land of Oz, after she and her pet dog Toto are swept away from their Kansas home by a cyclone.
