This gorgeous, enchanted, magical book of old fairy tales and fairy lore has been exceptionally well-kept for over 115 years. It comprises some of the most monumental fairy tales ever compiled alongside some very hard-to-find works. The color plate illustrations that adorn it are beautiful and complement the tales very well. This is the original 1905 1st edition 1st printing, not a later remake or reprint. They don't make books this good anymore, and I don't think they ever will.
