Best Fairy Tales Set: Aesop, Hans Christian Andersen, the Bothers Grimm, Celtic Fairy Tales (Collector's Library)

Every people or nation has its own way of experiencing this psychic reality, and so a study of the world's fairy tales yields a wealth of insights into the archetypal experiences of humankind. Folk tales and fairy stories were originally intended for both adults and children - Grimms' Household Tales, for instance - and this international anthology brings together The Frog Who Became an Emperor from China, The Three Billy Goats Gruff from Norway, Pinocchio from Italy as well as the classic stories of Aesop, Andersen, the Grimm Brothers, Charles Perrault and Oscar Wilde, among many others.
