"So far I've only read these tales: The Emperor's New Clothes (1837) The Happy Family (1847) The Little Mermaid (1836) The Nightingale (1844) The Princess and the Pea (1835) The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep (1845) The Snow Queen (1844) The Steadfast Tin Soldier (1838) Thumbelina (1835) The Ugly Duckling (1844) The Goblin at the Grocer's (1853)
They're all good except the Snow Queen which is so bad I never finished it. I absolutely loved The Goblin at the Grocer's and want a picture of the little Goblin sitting atop the chimney holding his precious book to hang in my home."
"This set of four volumes appeared in the house around Christmas, perhaps being presented as a present. This English edition was published in the place of the author's birth.
Although I started reading the stories immediately, it was probably years before I finished them, years which involved reading quite a few of them to my little brother."
"I still have the copy from my childhood, illustrated by Arthur Szyk. His illustrations emphasize the sad & creepy aspects of the stories in a way that gave me chills when I was a kid, and still kind of creep me out. I'm going to have to re-read my book, now that I've added it to my GR collection."
"Ok. I am pretty sure this is not the one I read, but the one I have is pretty old and probably not on here. I asked for a book of original fairy tales for Christmas one year and got this and could not have been happier. In it, there are a ton of unedited-for-Disney stories that range from pretty basic to totally bizarre. A favorite short one is "The Jumping Contest" in which a flea, a "jumping jack", and some other thing all have a contest to see who can jump highest. Whoever does gets to marry the princess. The jumping jack wins through some kind of cunning and even though I have no idea what he is, he gets to marry the princess. Huzzah! There are also some incredibly gory ones, including "The Rose Elf" in which an elf exacts revenge on a bad guy and includes a moderately graphic decapitation."
