(4) K-3 Classic Fairy Tale Collection series. Illustrated by Martin Hargreaves. This retelling, though generally unremarkable, includes some interesting details (e.g., the miller's daughter insisting that her father's boast is just his "way of saying how proud he is of me"). An appended "About the Story" provides background on the tale's origins. The paintings offer straightforward interpretations of the characters and a generic European setting.
