About this eBook

The Diamond Fairy Book is a compilation of fairy stories written by various authors, some whose names have been lost in the mists of time.
This book retells but 19 of the thousands of fairy tales and legends from around the world. We believe each story was carefully selected by Pape and Millar and also exquisitely illustrated by them. The 8 colour plates and 82 pen and ink drawings by Pape and Millar give further life to the stories.

Not only children by parents too, can enjoy these stories, but they’re especially good at bedtime. Herein you will find the stories of:
