The fairy tales more accurately reflect the original versions and are not watered down. They were published by Creative Education for adolescent readers because the stories frequently address real-world issues. As a result, the tales may not all end happily as they do in the Disney or similar versions.
The books are in very good condition and beautifully illustrated. I flipped through each book and found the pages to be clean without any writing. Some corners show some minor wear, with a corner from "The Fir Tree" showing the most damage (see photo). Photos show exact books being sold. Each book is 8-3/4" top-to-bottom and 6-1/8" across.
