I won an award in elementary school for best reader. Until I discovered Valerie's website, I did not know what other wonderful reading I'd missed growing up because it wasn't in my school library or found at home, and thanks to her, my children have a library 3,000 books strong and overtaking our home to enjoy, and I have found some wonderful new favorites.
I picked up my first copy of the colored fairy books for my own children at a library sale, my husband read the first tale, or began to, out of the book, and some sort of he-fellow was taking pleasure or pain in hanging himself from a tree -
so, my husband trashed the book, and my childhood memories, because he didn't want that in the house.
I look forward to the rest of the discussion, because I'm still hoping to weed out the good from the bad - I know I read all I could get my hands on and that particular image never stuck with me.

Subject: [Bookroom] Andrew Lang Fairy Books
I recently acquired several free ex-library copies of the various "color"
Fairy Books, i.e., The Rose Fairy Book, The Olive Fairy Book, etc.
I would like the opinions of you fellow living book readers, including you,
Valerie, if there isn't something on one of your web sites (going to search
for it next).
