Tales of the Kingdom

These classic allegorical tales are ones I grew up reading, and they continue to be meaningful to me now as an adult and someone who can share them with the children around me.

The Snow Princess
AuthorRuth Sanderson
ISBN0316779822
I love to read picture books, mainly for their illustrations. Ruth Sanderson's illustrations are always exceptional. Here, she knocks this out of the park because this is full of magic and the most amazing illustrations.

As for the story, this has a happier ending compared to the story I knew...

The Devil's Storybook
AuthorNatalie Babbitt
ISBN0374417083
There are more ways than one to view the Devil and his works. In this collection of ten original stories, Natalie Babbitt offers us a middle-aged Old Scratch with a tender ego, proud of Hell and anxious for his reputation; a plotter at once pompous and naive who has a way of losing as often as he wins. Nothing...

The Wizard in the Tree
AuthorLloyd Alexander
Basic plot: Mallory frees a wizard from being trapped in a tree, antics ensue.

I like this book more for a funny thing that happened to me than for the content. The book was good- a cute, little fantasy story- but nothing that'll really be remembered over time the way The Chronicles of Narnia or...

Fairies and Elves
AuthorTristram Potter Coffin
I picked this up by chance in a local market and I'm deeply thrilled that I did.

large range of Fairy legends essentially condensed into a flow of text. Seems to draw mainly from pre-existing collections.

In terms of layout and art - a really fantastic book. Pulls from the history of 19th...
