Fairy tales have been told since the beginning of time, the funny thing is how very real the message they give is, I've found that years later since becoming an adult, stories from my childhood have just popped into my mind from time to time, often at poignant moments in my life, and i'll think - oh yes, that's what that story was about !! Thats because I believe a good fairy tale works on manl levels and has meaning in many ways.
I don't claim this to be a comprehensive list of Fairy Tales ... I'm focused really on the artists and illustrators who help bring the stories to life.
My list is informed both by my own memory and from my life as an Antique Print Dealer who specialises in Children's and Nursery prints - I'm recommending titles illustrated by my favourite artists, most are classics which fortunately are in print one way or another today.
The star ratings are my own and reflect slight differences in what are all great books.
