SUMMARY: A collection of traditional folktales and fables from around the world.

REVIEW: I enjoyed this book immensely because it contains all of the stories that I used to hear over and over again as a child. I am a particular fan of "The Three Billy Goats Gruff" and "The Princess and the Pea;" this book retells these classic stories in a way that is both familiar and easy to understand. The author also puts his own voice into the re-telling of these classic tales, which is always an interesting thing to read. I think that children will enjoy this book because these classic stories never get old. ( )
