This is a collection of (mostly) well known fairytales published in a more original (albeit translated from French) format.
There were plenty of stories that most of us know - Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella (or Cinderilla as it is in this book), Puss-in-Boots, and Little Red Riding Hood. There were only a few I didn't have prior knowledge of -Riquet With the Tuft, The Ridiculous Wishes, Donkey-Skin and a few that were familiar enough that I probably had them read to me at some point.
There was plenty of difference from the Disney-fied version where everything is sanitised that they were enjoyable enough of a read, even for an adult who doesn't read kids books. Bluebeard was probably the pick of the stories for me!
