Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Puss in Boots and Other Fairy Tales
Anon · 2018
70/100
👍 Worth It
The real draw here is Mabel Lucie Attwell's Edwardian illustrations — charming, collectible, and genuinely lovely — paired with a solid spread of Perrault, Grimm, and English folk tales that represent the best of the European tradition. Bluebeard is in the mix, so parents of very young children should page through first. As a gift edition or shelf addition, it earns its place.
