There is no plot. This is a book of English fairy tales. Reprint of the original. I do want to say here that the flow of print on the pages does not flow at all as if they just set the printer on "go". The illustrations look like xeroxed copies and are quite gray and blurry. Was disappointed in this purchase.Product details

English Fairy Tales Joseph Jacobs 9781540636034 Books Reviews
My husband is English and I bought this for our children to learn from his culture. He was impressed with the selection and we all enjoy the stories.
A must read! I've been a fan of English Fairy Tales because my mom used to read some of them to me before I go to sleep when I was a kid. Kinda helps me remember her.
Calla Editions never disappoint!!!!!
Stories written of old events, timeless tales of places and events and ideas that still entertain and enlighten a delightful little book to indulge yourself, off the beaten path.

Very well-made, heavy book of obviously high quality. Many black and white illustrations with a few full-page coloured pictures. A great addition to a child's library and a must-have for collectors of fairy tales.
One star docked for a lack of shrink/plastic wrap around the book. I expected Calla Editions to package these books better.
I'm really impressed with the quality of this edition. The quality of the hardback is sturdy. The pages are thick. The print is beautiful. The illustrations are excellent. At a time when so many classics compromise on quality for profit, this edition is outstanding. I'm hoping for more English authors like Chesterton, Dickens, William Morris, etc to be published like this. There's a large quantity of low quality editions out there. I would really like an edition of Irish literature and poetry like this one.
I have been collecting the Calla Editions' books since 2009. My first purchase was Tales of Mystery and Imagination (Calla Editions) and I was so impressed with the quality (wonderful illustrations, superior binding, etc.) that I began collecting the Calla books. Each and every book has been a delight, and not only have these books enhanced my home library, they have been a joy to peruse and read over and over again. Each book is illustrated by a well-known illustrator such as Arthur Rackham, Kay Nielsen, Chris Van Allsburg, etc. and the illustrations are the true highlights in each book.
In Calla Editions' English Fairy Tales, the illustrations are by Arthur Rackham, a renowned early 20th century British illustrator (who also provided the illustrations for Calla Editions' Grimm's Fairy Tales). This edition contains many of Rackham's amazing black and white illustrations, including silhouettes. In addition, there are sixteen large color plates.

There is no plot. This is a book of English fairy tales. Reprint of the original. I do want to say here that the flow of print on the pages does not flow at all as if they just set the printer on "go". The illustrations look like xeroxed copies and are quite gray and blurry.
