You could spend upwards of $10 for the newest version of these tales, but I'd as soon as stick with this classic version containing superb, detailed illustrations by the acclaimed Kay Nielsen. Some of my personal favorite stories include the vile "Prince Lindworm" whom consumes two of his brides, "The Husband Who was to Mind the House" which made sport of the ever so careless husband and "The Lassie and the Godmother" with special appearance by the Virgin Mary (I kid you not!) Be sure to start from the very beginning as it has a terrific index of every illustration and mention of what it portrays with links to each piece of artwork. A great find and a tremendous bargain! For another fine book of tales (illustrations not needed) please see my review for "Running With the Caribou" by Robin Moore.
