This beautifully curated anthology includes twenty-two classic fairy tales and fables by Aesop, Hans Christian Andersen, and the Brothers Grimm, all retold in clear, engaging language by Eric Carle. With his signature collage illustrations, Carle brings to life a wide range of timeless characters—clever animals, brave heroes, magical creatures, and talking objects—in stories that explore themes of courage, kindness, and wit. The collection features both familiar tales like “The Rabbit and the Turtle” and “The Wild Swans” and lesser-known gems, making it a rich introduction to traditional folklore. Perfect for family read-alouds and independent readers alike, this volume blends literary heritage with Carle’s unmistakable visual style.
