Rating: - return to childhood
I bought this book because my mother had one from when she was a little girl and it was my most favorite book to look at. My sibling inherited the book though and i have been searching for a copy of my own. An original sells for about $100. on ebay and the price continues to go up even when the market goes down.
I was surprised to see that a reprint was available.
The book is just as magical as ever, but the coloring of the pictures are a little different. The pages have a glossy finish ... Read More
Rating: - STILL THE GREATEST AFTER 56 YEARS !!!
This was my favorite book as a child. The Garth Williams illustrations pictured the world of elves and fairies just like I imagined it. I have fond, fond memories of my mother reading me these stories on long hot summer afternoons in the then un-air conditioned eastern North Carolina back in the 1950s. This wonderful book goes in and out of print. I was delighted to see that it is back IN print. I ordered 5 copies for my grown children to read to their children and to give to friends who have children. ... Read More
Rating: - Like seeing an old friend!
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 ... Read More
Rating: - My Childhood Favorite
This was my favorite book as a child. When I had my own children, I tried to buy it but it was out of print. The only copies available were shabby old copies on ebay for over $100. I was thrilled when they re-printed it in 2008. My kids love it too. The stories are so sweet and enchanting. I really enjoy reading these stories again to my kids. The pictures are whimsical. The print colors are not as vibrant as the original printing, but otherwise I'm so happy to have a copy again.
Rating: - The Giant Golden Book of Elves and Fairies
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.
