4.0

At first I wasn't too sure what to rate this. I love the way classic fairytales are written, in this weird straight-forward style but nothing fully makes sense because it's so chock-full of imagery and whimsical circumstance. Most of it I loved, especially with the accompaniment of the beautiful and sometimes uncanny illustrations. However, some of it went over my head, I think, I never really studied fairy tales while getting my english degree, and maybe that would've helped (or maybe not), but because of that I was left confused, and it made it a little less enjoyable. 
I also don't know how I feel about rating a book with stories that are 100s of years old that were found lost in an archive and then published, like are you even supposed to rate that?
