The Annotated Classic Fairytales

Translations by Maria Tatar

No Awards

This book is written for an older audience, highschool and above as it provides annotations to your favorite traditional literature stories, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Beauty and the Beast, Rapunzel, and many many more. Each story within this book is given an introduction and full preamble before jumping into the story. As the story goes, parts of it are annotated so that the reader is able to learn about the history of the story.

My evaluation of this book is that when given to the proper audience, this book could be incredibly informational and could be a useful tool to understanding fairytales and their history.
