It's not really a complaint about them. It's just a simple fact of how I felt. Oh well. I also felt the same way about H.R. Pufnstuf and the gang with that talking flute. I guess I wasn't normal and the things that appealed to most kids didn't work on me. (Shivers still!) Thank you for sharing and have a great day. I'm going to go have a PTSD moment now. LOL Thank you for sharing, Barry Sometimes I think I’m the only person/kid in the world that was completely creeped out by those stories.

I remember I had a series of books called: The Book of Giants, The Book of Wizards, The Book of Dwarfs, The Book of Princes, The Book of Witches. (There was no Book of Princesses, it occurs to me now). My impression is that they might have come from England (via my father who lived there and mailed things to us in the States). They were all uniform in size (8 1/2 x 11"-ish) and thickness and I remember black and white ink drawings every several pages... I loved them so much that I would force myself not to read them for a while so I could have the pleasure of reading them fresh. These books don't appear on any Google searches and I have NO idea who compiled/wrote published them. There was a mixture of familiar tales (Jack and the Beanstalk) and tales I'd never heard before and have never heard since...including one about a frightened petite giant who hides in a baby carriage to avoid a bigger, scary giant... Does this ring bells any bells? With anyone? If so, I would love to find these books, and now, thirty years later, they will be fresh again. And I would love to share them with my kids...Sincerely, KD When I was littlish (9, 10?)
