A Fairy Tale Treasury

By John Kurtz

From a great giant to a tiny child and from a wicked stepmother to a kindly granny, all of the characters in these classic folktales are African Americans. Children will delight in the timeless pleasures of these six fairy tales: Rapunzel, in which the heroine's long hair forms a ladder for her rescue; Cinderella, a tale of patience and humility rewarded; Beauty and the Beast, the triumph of true love over appearances; Little Red Riding Hood, involving a close call with a crafty wolf; the search for what is "just right" in Goldilocks and the Three Bears; and a foolish boy's transformation into a hero in Jack and the Beanstalk.
