[.ca] Barefoot Bk Of Princesses (ISBN 1901223744)

smashing anthology:
This is a beautifully illustrated anthology of folktales from many cultures. I enjoyed reading it as much as the listener enjoyed hearing it. I did have to tone down some of the stories slightly based on our choices for our preschooler \othey are traditional folktales, and sometimes violent, but not more than I was exposed to as a child!\c and would not be upsetting to most older children. It is a lovely way to glimpse other cultures and traditions, particularly as the illustrations seem to mesh well with each story and culture.
