I’m very interested in this list. We live in Michigan and I’ve discovered a great collection of Midwest folk tales by Native American legends by Sleeping Bear Press. One of those is always in my library stack each week.
I love folk and fairy tales. I really enjoyed the Geraldine McCaughren collections (the golden horde, silver treasure and bronze cauldron) as a kid. My son is still a little too young to handle the words-to-pictures ratio but he enjoys looking at the pictures and getting a synopsis of what is happening.
I love fairy tales and can’t wait to look through all of your recommendations. My first exposure to fairy tales was a book my mother bought for me at my elementary school’s Scholastic Book Fair, which I still have - a hardcover copy of Grimm’s fairy tales illustrated by Arthur Rackham. She also gave me a book of Russian fairy tales edited by Jackie Onassis; the illustrations are gorgeous. Both still hold a special place in my heart, and I love looking back as an adult and realizing how big a role my mom played in my reading life.
I love everything about this spotlight!
