COMMUNITY REVIEWS
read it for the gorgeous illustrations! submitted by camelsamba on July 24, 2012, 9:33pm These tales get repetitive after a while - there are quite a few common themes that show up again and again and again. The real reason to get this book is to pore over the wonderful luxurious color illustrations by Kay Nielsen. If you are an artist of any variety, you will be inspired!
