The content includes 25 classic fairy tales such as Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Tom Thumb, Rumpelstiltskin, Snow White, Jack and the Beanstalk, and more. This is a wonderful collection of classic fairy tales, featuring 16 illustrations. Two of these are newly added (the last two images), while the remaining 14 are from the original publication. Dimensions: 21.5cm Year: 1926 (97 years old) Apart from the two added illustrations (the final two images), the book is in complete condition and is readable. However, as an old book, it inevitably bears marks of its history. Please consider this before purchasing.
