Ebook THE DIAMOND FAIRY BOOK - 19 illustrated children's fairy tales from around the world

The Diamond Fairy Book is a compilation of fairy stories written by various authors, some whose names have been lost in the mists of time. This book retells but 19 of the thousands of fairy tales and legends from around the world. We believe each story was carefully selected by Pape and Millar and also exquisitely illustrated by them. The 8 colour plates and 82 pen and ink drawings by Pape and Millar give further life to the stories.
