The appropriate age for these stories is hard to determine. Infants can love them, and may have the advantage over older readers of not having to relearn how to tune into and accept the fairy tale conventions. They're tales for telling, not necessarily ones to introduce the rich range of such material, but in this form are a magical resource.
