      Gr 2-4-Accounts of dragons, trolls, and princesses inundate the pages of children's literature, and this series cleverly seeks to divulge the truth behind the legends. Full-page, colorful illustrations and balanced writing highlight what is an outstanding achievement for young readers. The appearance, history, and behaviors of each subject are presented in an engrossing format that discloses fairy tricks, princess problems, and the trouble with trolls. Through clear, large texts, each title discusses legendary stories ranging from princesses in "Sleeping Beauty" to the infamous troll of "The ThreeBilly Goats Gruff". These books are sure to gain a positive response.

      Each book briefly states whether its subject is real and then summarizes legends about it ("In fairy tales, most princesses have long hair"). Though the books might serve as introductions for readers completely unfamiliar with folklore, they won't teach other readers very much that's new. The illustrations in Fairies and Princesses create a lighter atmosphere than in Dragons. Reading list. Glos., ind.
