The 5th or 6th book contains Aesop's Fables. Some of the stories are: Felicia and the Pot of Pinks (or Felicia and the Pretty Pinks) Rumpelstiltzkin Snow-White and Rose-Red The Goose-Girl Little Wildrose The Golden Mermaid The Enchanted Wreath The Twelve Dancing Princesses The Princess Mayblossom Fairer-than-a-Fairy The Flower Queen's Daughter Dorani There were of course the popular traditional fairy tales but these were the ones that stood out more to me because they were my favorites I don't think they are books by Andrew Lang. I reember the books having black and white illustrations. They were all hard cover books. I not sure what to ask you for. A title? Publisher? If you have an idea of what I'm talking about please reply.

My Lang ones are softcover, but they may have had a hard-cover edition, and their illustrations are black-and-white -- and they did include every fairy tale you listed here. If that set used Lang as a source, you might be able to find the stories at least in the Lang series.

I checked to the Andrew Lang books from my library last Christmas to go through them thoroughly but the only Picture that was familiar was this one it's the picture from the story The Enchanted Wreath. I just found a Piece of the Puzzle. I remembered one time when I was at a cousins house I was thumbing through her fairy tale book and spotted Felicia And the Pot of Pinks I recognized an illustrations. The only thing is that now she doesn't seem to have the book anymore. I was going to use that to find the illustrator then eventually the books. There are five possible books and They're from the same collection I don't know if you've heard of it Great Illustrated Classics Theres: The Little Mermaid and other Stories Beauty and the Beast and Other Stories Cinderella and Other Stories Sleeping Beauty and Other Stories Snow White and Other Stories I think those are the only fairy tale books in the collection. I'm Currently Looking for the book with Felicia and the pot of pinks and the Illustrator for the story and eventually the books I owned. But a question. Do they always crefit the illustartors even if they copied their illustrations?
