Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Sankar Viswanathan, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Fairy Book" by Dinah Maria Mulock Craik is a collection of classic fairy tales compiled and retold for a modern audience, likely written in the mid-19th century. The stories draw from various well-known sources, including works by Perrault and the Brothers Grimm, and exhibit a commitment to preserving the charm of traditional tales while making them accessible to contemporary readers. The collection includes beloved stories such as "Cinderella," "Beauty and the Beast," and "The Sleeping Beauty," reflecting themes of virtue, morality, and enchantment. The opening portion of the book introduces readers to the purpose of the collection through a preface that highlights its intention to entertain both children and adults alike, while maintaining moral simplicity. The beginning of "The Sleeping Beauty" is provided, depicting a royal couple's grief over their childlessness until a daughter is born, leading to a series of events surrounding the fairy godmothers' blessings and the dire curse laid by an uninvited old fairy. This portion sets the stage for magic, trials, and ultimately a tale of love and resilience that is characteristic of fairy tales. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
