Summary: Beautiful!
Review: This is a beautiful book -- both in its illustrations and in the stories and in its portrayals of strong women from around the world whom you can feel good recommending to your little girl as role models. I get tired of the same old Eurocentric fairy tales and nursery rhymes that are forced upon children today. It's important to have a global worldview and this book can be one of the first steps toward such an understanding. The fairy tales are not too long -- perhaps 8-20 pages each -- and come from many different countries. I gave it as a gift to a five-year-old girl who loves it, and I read it to my 6-yr-old son and 3-yr-old daughter, who both appreciate it.

Summary: Elegant Cultural Princesses...
Review: This is a beautifully written and illustrated book for all ages. Young and old, male and female. My husband bought me this book for my birthday, knowing my love for princess lore. I'm now reading it to my granddaughter and grandson. Ms. Climo presents seven stories from seven very different cultures. She includes introductions to each story that explain a little of the magic you're about to discover. Each story has a wise and meaningful message. Down to earth Princesses; a wise Princess; an enchanting Princess and a determined Princess along with the untypical stories of a curious Princess; a stubborn Princess and a spoiled Princess all manage to captivate your heart and sigh as they all "live happily ever after".
