The most enchanting fairy tales are retold here in one beautiful volume-and lavishly illustrated with images from the delightful animated series on PBS: Mikhail Baryshnikov's Stories from My Childhood.

In his foreword, the ballet superstar describes the impact of these films-produced by the Russian animation studio Soyuzmultfilm-on his childhood and his appreciation of the timeless stories, which include "Beauty and the Beast" and "Cinderella," as well as tales less familiar to Western readers, including Pushkin's "The Golden Rooster." Full-color stills taken from the animated films capture all the beauty and action of the originals. Whether they are familiar with the PBS series, or encountering these classic stories for the first time, young readers will be enchanted by this beautiful book.
