Reviews
A combination of spellbinding tales selected by Michael Morpurgo himself. Traditional stories passed down from generations which are transformed into modern fairy tales by some amazing authors.

Some stories were adventurous some were magical and some were a bit cute to but all the stories had three things in common that were love, honesty and truth . I liked the story called The east of the sun The west of the moon and I liked a character Astrid . I liked the story because I felt the story's moral was we have to be helpful , kind and be grateful for we have and I liked Astrid because no matter how the journey was she took the risk and went to find the prince by climbing mountains and other dangerous stuff . I would like to recommend it to someone else .

The book has lots of fiction stories about princesess. I liked them because the stories are a bit different than the usual stories.

I like the 12 dancing princesses chapter and Tom Thumb, the Pied Piper, Annisokay and the Merman. Those are my favourite ones in the book.

My favourite character from all the small stories is Yoshi the stonecutter, because she is a shapeshifter. I would recommend this book to others that enjoy magic.

This story is packed with a range of various stories some about under the sea some about on land and some about both.I would recommend this book to someone between ages 7-10.
Princess Birthday-cake Eragon 31.08.2021
It made me happy because nice things happen to good people. It was great because the books have happy endings.In Rumpelstiltskin my favourite character is Lily because she is really kind and helpful in Sleeping beauty my favourite character is Aurora because she is really beautiful and lovely in Cinderella my favourite character is Cinderella because she only does hard work but never gives up. I will recommend it because they have happy endings but not the Pied piper.

I liked King Arthur. I liked a lot of the tales but some of them are quite sad. I would recommend this to someone who likes fairy tales.
