Yup; it's a good one too, I own that one in hardback for a reason.
Fairy tales were very much a foundation of my reading when I was small, but not for the usual reason; I learned to read when I was three and got hold of my older sister's copy of the complete Brothers Grimm when I was about five. Gave me some major nightmares, I can tell you... I read the entire thing several times over before I got into first grade, by which I'd come to the conclusion that if anybody ever stuck ME on a glass hill or in some stupid tower, I'd get out on my own, thanks.
