What a beautiful book. O

I have loved Gorjuss for years, and have mostly got little figurines and notebooks, but did not know that this existed until I got it for my birthday.This is a beautiful little book, with gold edged pages, a beautiful spine, and “gorjuss” end papers. There are six stories inside, with pictures scattered liberally throughout.The stories include Little Red Riding Hood, The Little Mermaid, Snow White, Alice In Wonderland, Thumbelina and Rapunzel. Each story is a few pages long, so ideal for a bedtime story and altogether, is just over 100 pages.If you’re expecting the Disney versions, I warn you now, this is not the heavily sanitized versions that your children know and love. These are abridged versions of your Hans Christian Anderson/Brothers Grimm/Lewis Carroll stories, that I read as a child (Thumbelina strangely, is the only one that I don’t remember.)These are abridged, in the sense that they are relatively wide spaced print, with pictures scattered, to make it easy for you to read to your children, or for children to read themselves - Amazon recommends 8+. Also, Alice In Wonderland is cut down to a mere 16 pages, so it’s really only a bare bones version.If you’re looking for a beautiful hardback copy to read to your children, I would highly recommend this. If you’d rather no child of yours ever get their grubby little fingers all over it, then read it to yourself, and put it somewhere safe - I can recommend the very top shelf. I quite enjoyed re-reading all these stories I loved as a child, and must dig out my own copies again sometime soon.
