Old favorites, such as "Cinderella" and "Jack and the Beanstalk," are presented alongside some lesser known stories, such as "The Fisherman and his Wife" and "Diamonds and Toads." Mary Hoffman's charming retellings use simple, lyrical language ideal for reading aloud, while Julie Downing's illustrations bring the characters to life. The stories in this collection show the consequences of greed, pride, and vanity, but also tell of the love that grows from a kind heart and a cheerful nature. And along the way, there is a wealth of magic and fun to be enjoyed. Review: Good for classics - My 4yo daughter is obsessed with this book. She got it for Christmas when she was 3, and sat down and listened to the whole thing in one sitting. We lost it at some point, and I bought a new copy, and she constantly asked if it had arrived yet. As soon as it did, we sat down and read it all again. She brings it with her and "reads" the stories in the car, in quite dramatic fashion. The pictures are great. She likes that the table of contents has good pictures of the stories, so she can look at it and pick which one she wants to hear, and is even getting to the point in number recognition that she can find the right page. Of course they are fairytales, and all the instant love and happily-ever-after that comes with them. I sometimes add edits on the spot ("And after they had many conversations during which they realized how compatible they were, and found they shared many core values, they decided to get married!"). But still, it is a great first book of a fairytales, with a good variety of tales and clear telling of them. I recommend! Review: Bed time stories - I bought this for a baby shower - yes I realize she won't be able to read it for quite some time. I grew up listening to my parents read me fairy tales and this collection really covers some of the greats. Sure, they're very short and missing a lot of the complex details that really make people connect to them, but the story lines are still the same. This collection is a great way to introduce very young children to fairy tales without boring them or frightening them. This book is for the beginning reader, not for a child that has been able to read for quite some time. I cannot wait for the little princess to grow up so she can read these to her mother and brothers. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #207,797 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #115 in Children's Folk Tale & Myth Anthologies #318 in Children's Short Story Collections #1,699 in Children's Classics | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,183 Reviews | ## Images ![A First Book of Fairy Tales - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WsGlfJKyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for classics *by J***H on January 11, 2020* My 4yo daughter is obsessed with this book.

It has all the favorites and some that are new to me. It's a nice book to cuddle up with and read one or two or settle down with and read them all. My granddaughter now knows how to use the table of contents to find the story she wants which is a skill that will come in handy as she transitions from learning to read to reading to learn. ## Frequently Bought Together - A First Book of Fairy Tales - Grandpa Cacao: A Tale of Chocolate, from Farm to Family --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3914543-a-first-book-of-fairy-tales](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/3914543-a-first-book-of-fairy-tales) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
