You will all probably think I'm mad, for wanting this specific anthology as opposed to a different one.
I owned this book between 1992 and 2000. I remember no author, illustrator, publisher or title, so it's almost useless. What I do remember:
White cover, with an illustration of Aladdin and his genie on the front
Roughly the size of a telephone book. BIG.
Contained the following fairy tales:
Diamonds and Toads
Beauty and the Beast
Snow White and Rose Red
The White Cat
The Little Mermaid (this is important. It was the last story of the bunch and it was the version that ends in her suicide)
Interestingly I ran a search and turned up the Blue Fairy Book by Andrew Lang. It had all the fairy tales except for the little mermaid and a lot of the other stories on the list rang a bell as well. But I'm just not sure.
Any help would be so much appreciated. Thank you!
