This is a classic book on Fairy Tales. We have enjoyed the Red Fairy Book for its lesser known fairy tales, but next year, we will be studying the more traditional fairy stories.

Beautiful quality book - we were looking at the Blue Fairy Book on Amazon and it was more expensive for a cheaply made, poorly-reviewed copy on there. This one is gorgeous, with gold binding and a ribbon and was only about half the price?! Really happy that I remembered to check Rainbow Resource instead!
