also thanks to my fellow readers here for the recommendation...this series got great reviews so you had me convinced.

...along with Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales : A new translation by Tiina Nunnally. It's a hardbound cover compiled by Andersen's biographer Jackie Wullschlager, who also contributes notes and illustrated it with Andersen's own paper cuts. This book is very nostalgic for me when I saw it on display...my grandma has a Readers Digest Edition of this Fairy
Tales compilation and she never did let me take it out of her home..hehehe..so if i want to read it i had to stay and read it a her home...needless to say i went to visit grandma a lot during my free time when i was a kid.

Hi laila, A Mighty Heart, wasnt this the movie starring Angelina Jolie? I remember hearing about it, wasnt it a true story?
Re Hans Christian Andersen, nice! im a sucker for hardbound nostalgic compilations as well, especially if its illustrated! I tried looking for sample illustrations on the net but didnt find any. How are they? Which bookstore did you find this, by the way?
