Stars: 4
Review by: Mandy Apgar
Usually I prefer the more obscure stories, and there are quite a
few in here. But what it does offer in spades are the more classic
tales, the most of any of the Fairy series, and although they aren't
told according to the general model all the time (Sleeping
Beauty was quite different for example) the effect was still charming.
For lack of a better word. The only small issue with it was all the
illustrations featured the characters in Middle Eastern clothing despite
many of the stories being French or German. Just
seemed out of place to show Beauty dressed up as the Genie from Disney's
Aladdin with a turban Marge Simpson would've been proud of instead of
wearing the attire of a French country girl.
