The Giant Golden Book of Elves and Fairies

I was about to pass on my battered and very read copy to a grandchild when i realized i could send a better copy. Wonderful book. Fantastic stories i love to this day. A permanent joyous childhood memory. Every kid should know these stories !

This was my favorite book as a child! I have fond memories of "reading" the stories through the exquisite Garth Williams illustrations long before I could read the words. When the long-awaited republished version arrived, my hands actually shook as I opened the box! There they were, all of my elf and fairy friends from childhood, just as I remembered them. What a treasure. I purchased two. One for my bookshelf for "grandma's hands only", and one to share with my grandchildren. I'm sure that the second will wind up like my original, with well-loved, worn and torn pages... This book is a real "keeper"!

This is a book I remember from my childhood (50+ years ago) and I was thrilled to locate it. The book is as wonderful as I remember it with excellent stories and marvelous detailed illustrations. A pleasure for both children and adults.

I was absolutely thrilled when I found out that my favorite childhood book (and the favorite of many others) was being reprinted again! I pre-ordered copies for myself, my children and a few friends. I was so happy when they arrived this week! This book is a true treasure to be enjoyed by all! The illustrations by Garth Williams and stories are priceless. This book would make a wonderful addition to any collection.

This was my favorite book as a child. I have been waiting for it to be reprinted for several years. I bought several to give away, as it makes a wonderful gift for a child or expectant parents. When the box arrived, yesterday, it was indeed a glorious day! Buy it before they sell out again.
