The National Nursery Book: With 120 Illustrations

This is the book your grandmother's grandmother loved. Compiled in the late 19th century from stories passed down through generations, The National Nursery Book gathers the tales that have been whispered to children for centuries: Little Red Riding Hood walking through the woods, Puss-in-Boots outsmarting a king, Cinderella sweeping floors before her fairy-tale transformation. These are the stories that taught generations how to be brave, kind, and clever. Accompanied by 120 antique illustrations that capture the charm of a bygone era, this collection preserves the magic and moral wisdom of classic folklore. Whether you are a parent sharing these tales with your own children or an adult revisiting the stories that shaped childhoods, this book offers the simple pleasure of tales told well.
