The Web is a rich source of folklore and fairy tales from around the world. If you’re ever sitting around, wondering if the story of “The Little Tin Soldier” will still bring a tear to your eye, or just how much you and “The Princess and The Pea” have in common, you might want to check one of these sites:
Hans Christian Andersen Fairy Tales and Stories, here.
Grimm’s Fairy Tales, here.
Complete Guide to Snow White (text, illustrations, issues, criticisms, illustrations, teaching guides)
Subject Guide to Folklore from Around the World (excellent resource!), here.
Aesop’s Fables, here.
Have some of Aesop’s Fables read aloud to you here!
I just checked out a couple of these. What a great resource. I grew up with the Hans Christian Andersen stories and it was neat to see the whole list. Thanks, Jill.
Thanks for the links! I’ve decided that I would ease my kids into fairy tales this summer.
I think I own ever Western fairy tale book there is. I’m also a children’s illustrator so I have the excuse. :)
