This book is beautifuly illustrated. It has famous stories like Cinderella, Little Red Ridinghood, among others. However some of the stories are very violent and disgusting almost. This is not a book for little children, it is rather for pre-teens and adults. I found it very interesting and I am very glad I bought it, it is a book that should be in every home.

The book is a hardcover with gold-leave edges. It also has a ribbon bookmark that I find very useful. The pages of the book are similar in material to those of a Bible which can be torn easily if not handled with care, so I would suggest that you do not let your children play around with too much. Otherwise the book is beautiful and to me it looks like a book that belongs to a fairy tale. The stories are wonderful as well as classic. I enjoyed reading it to my children as much as I enjoyed reading it myself.

Since I first read the Pippi Longstocking many adventures when I was just a child, I fell in love with the high spirited and wonderfully creative as well as original character. Her independence, common sense, strength, resourcefulness, and compassion were a tremendous inspiration to me. Even as an adult I am still captivated by the wonderfull adventures of Pippi Longstocking. It is a book that must be part of every child's library and it is a literature classic.
This edition is a collection of three of the most popular Pippi Longstocking series. The graphics and drawrings are beautiful and just add to the enjoyment of the book.
