Walter Crane, the great children's book illustrator, has chosen four enduring fairy tales from Grimm, French Tradition and Mother Goose: "The Hind in the Wood," "Beauty and the Beast," "The Frog Prince," and "Good Two Shoes," and has graced them with his matchless illustrations. 

Here is the magical world where frogs and beast turn into handsome princes, princesses turn into deer, and ravens are named Ralph, unforgettably described by Walter Crane's brilliant color and fascinating detail. (For the first time we actually see a prince turning into a frog!)
