Title: Nice illustrations, Forget the stories!
Product review: The illustrations are pretty, especially the metallic silver touch!However, the stories are [weak] and simplistic (nor all original -- the "Danced-Out Shoes" is a variation on the well-known Twelve Dancing Princesses story).The stories have a "silver" theme forced on them; the morals at the end of each story also are forced, and do not depict our values. (For instance, in the first story, we think that the first sister was right to hurry home once she realized that the old woman had stolen their money.)We love beautifully illustrated fairy and folk tales -- this one does NOT make the grade.
