👍 Worth It
A 320-page anthology of classic tales from Aesop to Andersen to Ali Baba offers solid value for the price — the story selection is culturally rich and the large-print format makes it genuinely usable for independent early readers. No trade reviews exist for this specific edition, so adaptation quality is uncertain, and families who avoid mythological content will want to preview the Greek selections. A reasonable home-library anthology if your expectations are calibrated to a mass-market anthology.
