An enchanting collection of classic stories and rhymes – one for every day of the year. Including classic tales and nursery rhymes such as Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, Sleeping Beauty and The Tinder Box. All brilliantly retold for young readers.

These 10 tales were first published in 1992, but this version, which groups them together and adds Chamberlain’s charming illustrations, makes for a special experience. The tales are mostly familiar ones, such as “Hansel and Gretel” and “Rapunzel,” but others may be new to many children, such as “The Golden Goose” and “Sweet Porridge.” Barber is expert at capturing the atmosphere of each selection with her lyrical language. Those wishing to refresh their Grimm collections should definitely consider this delightful book
