Daniel Z. Lieberman's "Tales from the Palace of the Fairy King" is a whimsical collection of fairytales that pays homage, in the very best way, to classical fairytales like those from The Brothers Grimm or Hans Christian Anderson. However, these tales are also new classics in their own right. These are not just retellings of old favorites; these are wholly original tales. Each one makes for the perfect bedtime reading, either as a family or on your own. The stories each have an enduring message of hope and good triumphing over evil. The best part about reading these stories as a family is that each family member takes something slightly different from each story. As parents, we tend to take more of the deeper themes to heart, but the kids enjoy the stories for their adventure and magic.
