More About This Book

Overview

  • Cinderella
  • The Frog Prince

“Once upon a time . . .”

Four simple words that, after more than two centuries, still have the ability to transport readers to lands of mystery, intrigue, and betrayal, life and death, love and abandon. Timeless are the tales of the Brothers Grimm who, in an effort to preserve native folklore, unwittingly crafted a cornerstone of Western literature.

With this book of fairy tales, beautifully illustrated by artist Kevin Tong, reacquaint yourself with the stories and characters you know and love. Run through the forest with Little Red Cap. Attend the ball with Cinderella. Eat an apple with Snow White. From witches to fairies, evil queens to kindly kings, frog princes and sleeping beauties, the Grimm tales are classics that are truly meant to be shared with young and old alike.

With a foreword written by the creators of ABC’s show Once Upon a Time, we see that these classic tales continue to endure and inspire more storytelling. The series brings some of these classic characters to life in a bold reimagination of the fairy tale world.

We invite you to reacquaint yourself with these magical stories and be transported once again with Once Upon a Time.

    Great Fairy Tales- Very Disappointed With The Lack Of Pictures!

    Great book, love all of the fairy tales, and I am a huge fan of the show Once Upon a Time; however I was expecting there to be beautiful pictures, and it is just stories! That is a downfall for me! This kind of book should have great illustrations! Otherwise it is a great read! And wonderful to have around for the variety of tales (I believe 30 in all.)

    Would recommend the Nook version

    I bought a hard copy because I wanted a version with pictures. Another reviewer said the Nook version did not have pictures. The hard copy has one or maybe two pen and ink drawings per story, but they are simplistic and often only something like a sword, not actual scenes. If I could go back, I would have bought the Nook version instead.

    Also, I was a little disappointed at how many stories in this collection are not in the tv show Once, although maybe the writers will add them in later. Additionally, I was surprised that Beauty & the Beast was not a story in this collection. Otherwise it is a nice collection.
