The Frog Prince is a German fairy-tale, which was part of the Grimm's Fairy Tales collection. It tells of a beautiful and spoiled young princess who is taught one of life's most important lessons by a hideous frog.Princess Belle-Etoile was originally a French story written by Baroness d'Aulnoy who coined the term "fairy tale." It tells of an exiled queen who brings up her three daughters in poverty. An old woman visits them one day and they show her great kindness and hospitality. She, being a fairy, rewards them with boons. The rest of the story follows the adventures of the three sisters.Alladin and the Wonderful Lamp is another old favorite featured here. Though the story is set in "an Eastern city" the illustrations seem to follow an Asian theme but are nevertheless very charming.
