A collection of fantasy stories selected from late nineteenth and early twentieth century fairy tale collections.
There's nothing wrong with this collection, but since most of the stories are from two regions—Britain and Ireland—a lot of the stories have a similar feel to them.
I do like the illustrations—and wish there were more—and appreciate that the stories were lightly edited to modernize spelling and to remove archaisms. I was also happy to see the list of sources provided links to digitized editions of the collections from which the stories were taken.
