In this book, 24 of the best-known tales are given in their original form, either as they were first printed in English, or in their earliest surviving text. Each tale has a historical introduction, showing the development of the story and noting particular points of interest. Was Cinderella's shoe really a glass slipper or was it made of fur? Was Little Red Riding Hood devoured by the wolf, or was she saved. How did the old woman in Southey's version of "The Three Bears" become the Goldilocks we know today? In a general introduction, Iona and Peter Opie look at the realism as well as the enchantment in the tales, and put into perspective the contributions of Perrault, the Grimm brothers and Hans Christian Andersen.

Volume 1 has 659 pages, and Volume 2 has 770 pages. All pages intact from both volumes and all pages and text are in fantastic, clean, readable order. The true poet, said W.H. Auden, is like a valley cheese, local but prized elsewhere. This two volume anthology celebrates four centuries of English Poetry, from the Elizabethan era to the present day. Representing this tradition of unfailing richness and variety are all the great and familiar names, Shakespeare, Donne, Marvell, Dryden, Pope, Keats, Wordsworth, Browning, Eliot, Auden, as well as poets writing today such as Seamus Heaney and Ted Hughes. But many of the less well known poets are here, too, adding their thrust to the mainstream, often providing interesting exceptions to what has become the conventional view of poetry of their age. The result is a rich and many coloured tapestry of the art that has been most successfully practised in Britain and Ireland, in all its depth and divesity and energy. This edition published 1996, by BCA, by arrangement with Oxford University Press, these specific volumes were a first reprint in 1997. A stunning pair of books that are nicely presented in their slipcase and would adourn any stylish home or commercial library.
