A Book of Fairy Tales

Mr. Baring - Gould is an authority upon folk tales, so that this volume is a particularly welcome one. The stories which he has retold are largely taken from Perrault's collection, the old yet ever fresh classics of the nursery such as 'Jack and the Beanstalk,' 'Cinderella,' 'The Sleeping Beauty,' 'Puss in Boots,' 'Beauty and the Beast,' and many more familiar in our mouths as household words. The tales are written in a manner likely to win the hearts of all youthful readers.
