These books are exquisite. The Twelve Dancing Princesses was an absolute favorite of mine as a girl and I can't wait to introduce it to my kid when she's older.

Somehow I've never heard of any of these! I'm going to check to see if they're available through our library.

A SELKIE STORY!! I can’t wait. These all look so good. We loved a different version of the 12 dancing princesses as we have a pretty committed dancing princess in our household so I hope to find this one at our library too! Thanks!

Some of these books bring back so many good childhood memories for myself and/or reading to my children 💜

When I was a kid, my family had a huge compendium of fairy tales. In my memory, that book was thick, with many many stories, with many different illustrators. Every time fairy tales come up, I try to find it. And this time, I was successful! I just placed a thriftbooks order, and I'm very excited to see if it holds up to my recollections.

So many of these titles are new to me; thank you for such a great and varied list! I'm putting "Twelve Dancing Princesses" on hold!
