- About the Contributor(s): Tim Rayborn has written a large number of books and magazine articles, especially in subjects such as music, the arts, general knowledge, and history. He lived in England for many years and studied at the University of Leeds, which means he likes to pretend that he knows what he’s talking about. He’s an almost-famous musician who plays dozens of unusual instruments from all over the world that most people have never heard of and usually can’t pronounce. He has appeared on more than forty recordings, and his musical wanderings and tours have taken him across the US, all over Europe, to Canada and Australia, and to such romantic locations as Umbria, Marrakech, Renaissance chateaux, medieval churches, and high school gymnasiums. He currently lives in Northern California with many books, recordings, and instruments, and a sometimes-demanding cat. He’s pretty enthusiastic about good wines and cooking excellent food. www.timrayborn.com

Frankly, I was disappointed. I

A shorter cliff notes version
"A shorter cliff notes version of the fairy tales. I love how you included cultural tales as well. I have a bigger version similar to this but its too long to read. This one was perfect. Read it in two days."

Entertaining
"My first fairy tale books, Grimm and Anderson, were pre-disnification, so I knew the rougher edges. But this volume included stories from come cultures new to me. It was nice to add to my store of knowledge."
