A hardcover boxed set!

This giftable boxed set contains four beautiful volumes of timeless fairy tale classics by Hans Christian Andersen, Charles Perrault, the Brothers Grimm, and Joseph Jacobs.

From “Cinderella” to “Jack and the Beanstalk” to “The Little Mermaid,” these famous fairy tales are essential staples of childhood. Read some of the most definitive works of the fairy tale genre—plus many lesser-known gems—with this set of four books by European fairy tale collectors.

The boxed set includes story collections by Charles Perrault—one of the first fairy tale writers—and Hans Christian Andersen—one of the most famous, along with books by Joseph Jacobs and brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, whose collections of English and German tales shaped national identities.

Their enchanting stories full of magic, morals, and romance—and plenty of both beloved and less familiar characters—are sure to capture the imagination.

This magical boxed set includes:
Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tales
Charles Perrault’s Tales of Mother Goose
Grimms’ Fairy Tales
Joseph Jacob’s English Fairy Tales
