This compilation encompasses beloved stories from various European cultures, including well-known favorites such as "Cinderella" and "Beauty and the Beast." Jacobs aims to present these tales in a way that resonates with children, highlighting their universal themes and enchanting narratives. At the start of the collection, the reader is introduced to the enchanting world of fairy tales through a charming narrative framing device featuring a grandfather telling stories to his grandchildren. The opening recounts the preparation for storytelling and touches on how these tales have been passed down through generations across Europe. It highlights the importance of these stories in connecting children not just with their cultural heritage, but also with children from other backgrounds who have heard similar tales, emphasizing their timeless appeal and cross-cultural presence. The narratives encompass trials, tribulations, magic, and moral lessons, thus inviting readers into a fantastical world where dreams come true and justice prevails.
