The Blue Fairy Book was the first volume in the series and so it contains some of the best known tales, taken from a variety of sources: not only from Grimm, but exciting adventures by Charles Perrault and Madame D'Aulnoy, the Arabian Nights, and other stories from popular traditions. Here in one attractive paperbound volume - with enlarged print - are Sleeping Beauty, Rumpelstiltzkin, Beauty and the Beast, Hansel and Gretel, Puss in Boots, Trusty John, Jack and the Giantkiller, Goldilocks, and many other favorites that have become an indispensable part of our culture heritage.
All in all, this collection contains 37 stories, all arranged in the clear, lively prose for which Lang was famous. Not only are Lang's generally conceded to be the best English versions of standard stories, his collections are the richest and widest in range. His postion as one of England's foremost folklorists as well as his firt-rate literary abilities makes his collection unfathomable in the English language.

Fairytales of Famous Authors Compared to Disney Cartoons with proper respect etc
This is book is about to contain the best topic you've ever read. I will be taking up the task of putting out Charles Perrault's Stories published in 1697 such as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty In The Woods and comparing them to the Disney Movie Cartoons and their counterparts if they have any in the Brothers' Grim and I will also introduce you to new stories as well. Brothers' Grimm books were published from 1812 and into 1815 debatably released a second collection) alternate Snow White Story where she had a sister. I have both a Randomhouse Book that has original stories in it. And I have a giant book of the Brothers' Grimm stories as well. I will never publish this story in any stores in the public. It is a private project built on building up educational knowledge and offers effective reviews of some stories of old and several comparisons of other stories. All story rights go to their physically original makers. I just decided to make a personal index for me to write out my opinion and not have to lug around so many storybooks while not at home. 'This is a private book and not intended to take credit for other people's work.' It is a pure educational reference opportunity for those who cannot afford to read about fairytales some of which are rarely discussed and you will see details from some of these stories appear in my crossover fan-fictions which you can look up and check right here and in its sequel. If this book appears on any other website you violate the true original Authors' copyrights.-Lumna10.
