Tales from the Palace of the Fairy King is a delightful group of seven Fairy Tales.  The writing is so good I can almost see Disney choosing one of these stories for it's next blockbuster animated movie.We need each of these stories in a large hardback with illustrations and it would be perfect!  The author manages to capture that same magical atmosphere as the old fairy tales.  As I read them I could imagine reading them to my grandchildren one day, and I can see them quick becoming classics.The first story sucks you in immediately the boy loving a princess from afar, magically becomes a tree to be near her.  I think though that I loved most out of all seven stories, the Princess and the Goatherder story.  The poor princess was neglected and mistreated by her parents withholding love...  and I don't want to put in a spoiler ...  but don't be discouraged by the fact that she becomes a spoiled rotten brat....That brings me to the fact there seems to be a point to every story.  The moral of the story with the goatherder and the princess could be that money doesn't buy you love...  or perhaps its that if you believe and keep trying love conquers all....  my point is that I think these stories could bring about many wonderful conversations with children.  My boys loved to discuss the fairy tales and books I read them ...  discussing them were half the fun.I would recommend these fairy tales to anyone with kids...  as a matter of fact, I already have!  :)  I will be on the look out for hard copies in the future...  I have tons of neices and nephews that would adore these stories as a present.
