one of my many life goals:
attain a huge awesome hardcover book of all the worlds fairy tales, from all different countries. not only like Grimm or hans christian andersen, but also those from like china, korea, poland, africa, guatemala, greece, india...
the book would be very pretty big. and the stories would be detailed.
i'm wondering if there is such a thing out there, i really hope so. i imagine i can't be the only one who would love such a thing.
Because the other day when i went to barnes and noble, i almost bought a book of all the grimm fairy tales because i had a gift card. But i didn't, because one: i already have a book like that kind of and two: because i just felt i wouldn't be satisfied with those books anymore, because i want a collection of those from all the cultures.
And i thought goshh.. maybe such a book doesn't exist. i mean i'm sure some form of it does, but maybe not a huge hardcover awesome one, with even obscure stories. it would probably be two or three hundred dollars.
and then i decided, i might just have to make it myself. that would be so amazing. also because i would get to see the fairy tales of all the countries, and like see their culture behind it and stuff. So every country i go to, i have to buy a book of fairy tales from that country. Hopefully it's in english, otherwise i'll need to get it translated. i want it to be from the country so that i know it's legit. I mean look what America's disney did to all the those stories, haha.
but if this sort of book already exists, that would be really great because then i could just buy it...
