Les Contes de Fées Enchantées de Maître Chevalier by Ryanna Coleman

From Cinderella to Thumbelina, with Snow White, Peter Pan and King Arthur in between, as well as many many other famous and popular fairy tales, this collection of retold fairy tales is darker than most.

And with five new fairy tales that will delight the reader and a foreword and conclusion by chronicler Master Chevalier, Les Contes de Fées Enchantées de Maître Chevalier will be a timeless classic.

I love the whismical feel of this! It reminds me of Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network and Disney's old stuff. (And then I read his bio... Wow... I'm smart.) Timmy Turner in particular.

Interesting-- I like the colors a lot. Not quite what I would expect from "a darker retelling of fairy tales" though. Love the guy on top, who is partially cut off though.

love it! love the cutesyness of it. maybe the cartoony cutseyness is supposed to be ironic if the fairytales are supposed to be darker than normal - sounds like a GREAT story! and as the above poster said, i love the guy at the top cut off... one of my fave covers so far! :D

Oh my gosh, definitely my favorite so far! So adorable!

my favourite thing is the cute little pink bird on the hand - AD.OR.AB.LE.!!!

So much fun! It's about time we had a more charming and less super-serious cover.

One of the best crows I've seen. Love this cover and would like to read the book.

I'm personally not a big fan of the shades of color, but maybe it's better like that rather than being bright and blinding somebody. Otherwise, I really love it! Not only the cover, but the synopsis also. Both are brilliant!

The cover is most enchanting and the synopsis is intriguing.

This is great! I really love the crow and his sinister expression, and the synopsis is fantastic!

I really love this one !

I like this one a lot! One of the best so far, in my opinion.

The crow looks like he has attitude. A really cute cover and probably one of my favourites so far.

This is just lovely! I particularly like the cartoon cuteness of it combined with some of the creepier elements -- the crow, the bug with the big pointy tooth, the spider. Perfect for a collection of "darker than most" fairy tales. I would read the hell out of this.

It looks very 1962. Since I like that, I like it.

I love this cover, and would look most forward to the original fairy tales.

I don't parlais Francais but I like this cover!

Lovely! Is the cover language French? I really have no idea but I love the synopsis. =)

Love the cover! Really stands out and definately would make me want to pick it up and have a read through.
