This is a lovely coloring book of a variety of fairytales, including: Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Rumpelstiltskin, The Three Little Pigs, The Little Mermaid and The Princess and the Pea.

It is a really wide range of tales and each one has several designs. I like the concept and the designs. It is the only book I’ve seen thus far that takes on some of these tales.

It is published in the UK and is a few years old. The book she published in 2015 is already out of print (wish I had bought it but I never saw it!) I don’t know how long this book will be in print, but you can buy it with free shipping (at the time I write this review) from Book Depository:

The designs are detailed and most contain intricate and small areas to color. There are no framing lines so the elements stop mid-stream on all four edges. Thankfully, the bound edge is stopped prior to the binding area. I don’t recommend this book for anyone with visual or motor skill issues because of the intricate areas.

The back of each page is printed in color with elements for quotes from the tales included. A really nice touch!
