Enter an enchanted world where dashing princes' rescue beautiful princesses, where wicked stepmothers do battle with good fairies, and where romance, danger and excitement captivate the reader. This glorious collection of four of the most beloved of European fairytales will weave its spell on you. Faithfully translated from the original French and German, each tale remains true to the stories first collected by Carles Perrault and Brothers Grimm over two hundred years ago. Jan Pienkowski's exquisitely beautiful silhouettes decorate each page and complete the atmosphere of magic and enchantment.
