Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Classic Bedtime Fairytales and Fables
Anne-Marie Dalmais · 1988
68/100
👎 Skip It
The underlying material — classic fables and fairy tales — is time-tested and carries real moral weight, and a curated bedtime anthology has clear practical value for parents. The 1988 illustrations and limited critical documentation hold it back from a strong recommendation when newer, better-reviewed anthologies exist. It is fine if you find a copy, but not worth hunting down.
