About this deal

The twelve classic stories in this exquisite book are teeming with magic, wonder, action and drama, as new life is breathed into some of the world's favorite tales. En estos cuentos aparecen pocas hadas pero sí hay mujeres fuertes, inteligentes, pícaras, habilidosas que nos permiten respirar tranquilas mientras los leemos pues sabemos que lograrán salir adelante. This stunning collection contains lyrical tales, bloody tales and hilariously funny and ripely bawdy stories from countries all around the world- from the Arctic to Asia – and no dippy princesses or soppy fairies. She helps all of the creatures around her, and gets trapped by the mole who wants her hand, but the swallow she helped heal comes back to save her and she meets a person just her size!

Explore the legends and myths of the ancient world, get reacquainted with classic fairytales, or enjoy modern retellings of your favourite stories in these beautifully illustrated collector’s editions.A few mothers turn into lions and want to eat their children, brothers try to rape their sisters, and jealous stepmothers put their children into the oven and serve them as dinner to their fathers. Son historias cortas, de entre una y quince páginas, y es verdad que algunas no me han dicho gran cosa, pero en general me ha parecido un libro entretenido e interesante para conocer los cuentos populares de otras culturas. More so as a tool to practice reading more than just a few sentences at a time and transitioning to reading chapter books. The book also includes notes on each story: the history and where it came from, its development and short summaries of many related or similar stories. Que yo y otras muchas mujeres vayamos buscando heroínas de cuentos de hadas en los libros es otra versión del mismo proceso: deseo validar mi reivindicación a poseer una parte equitativa del futuro, y expreso para ello la exigencia de que me concedan la parte del pasado que me corresponde».

I've tried to read this book two different times with three different children, and none of us have enjoyed it. Muchos de ellos pueden recordar a los cuentos tradicionales actuales, pero están contado en una versión mucho más realista y oscura, en muchos casos incluso macabra. Jack is a thief who steals from the ogre (not retrieving his father's possessions as I've read in other stories). The drawings are beautiful and has a great selection from the Grimm Brothers and Hans Christian Andersen. Even as a child I was far too much of a cynic to garner pleasure from anything other than realistic fiction, save for a few exceptions.Thus while a story in Russian or Hungarian might be translated into English in a relatively plain contemporary style, any entry from an English-speaking ethnic group is presented in their dialect. Por ejemplo, varios de ellos recuerdan tanto a Piel de asno como a La Cenicienta, hay una especie de versión del cuento de los cisnes que eran príncipes hechizados a los que su hermana tenía que desencantar, y hay uno sobre una leona del que aparecen tres o cuatro versiones diferentes en este libro. After all, one of the most common tropes in this collection is the protagonists solving a problem by asking someone for help, whether that's a family member or a random stranger, and receiving an absurd set of magical instructions to follow.

Make this an extra special gift by customising the book with the child’s name, birthday, photo, and select a dedication message. The second half makes a much better effort at global inclusiveness, though it still leaves a lot to be desired as a survey.Each book comes with beautiful illustrations and a specially designed hardback binding, a perfect gift of a rare collectable edition for any child to treasure. Perrault Charles Perrault was the first of the great fairy tale authors, writing in France in the 18th C. This is book is a mixture of the classic fairy tales and I really enjoyed it because it is not the same story that most of the kids are used to because it's not the Disney ones.
