Publisher's Synopsis
Quote from Albert Einstein: If you want your children to grow up smart, read them Fairy Tales. If you want them smarter, read them more Fairy Tales.
Once upon a time... hundred's of years ago... many Fairy Tales were published throughout Germany and Europe... most notably by the Brother's Grimm, whose stories like Snow White, and Cinderella, are well known all over the world. However, many other authors also published their fascinating Fairy Tales during that time with many of their stories never reaching the USA. They have remained buried on book shelves, in old castles, amid the fog of time. However, TB Riggs, has brushed aside all the cob-webs, and brings to you a collection of new and unfamiliar stories to share with all Fairy Tale lovers young and old. Most of these stories, if not all, are tales with a strong moral to the story, reminiscent of our great-grandmother's, or great-grandfather's Fairy Tales. Suitable reading for children and grown ups who love Fairy Tales. TB Riggs has rendered her own renditions... interpretations...variations... and or adaptations, from all authors listed below. William Hauff: 1786-1859. Hans Christian Andersen: 1805-1875. Richard Van Volkmann-Leander: 1830-1889. Charles Perrault: 1703-1628 Theodor Storm: 1817-1888, and many others. Be sure to look for TB Riggs's other Fairy Tale Books called: "Bed Time Stories" and "Old European Fairy Tales!"
