The Blue Book of Fairy Tales di Gordon Laite
Three favorite fairy tales-- Rapunzel, Beauty and the Beast, and Toads and Diamonds--are brought beautifully to life in this classic Little Golden Book from 1959, with breathtaking illustrations by the inimitable Gordon Laite.
Interesting telling of three fairytales. Good pictures. Probably a 4th or 5th grade level book
I think I've had this book forever, but.in actuality, it appears I stole it from my sister. However, it may go to my grave with me. Beautifully illustrated versions of Rapunzel, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Toads and Diamonds, and Snow White and Rose Red.
