What was the name of the book about sleeping beauty goldi red riding hood and cinderella in a mad world?

the book was pink with the four princesses on the front and lots of stars it was something like topsy turvy land and it might not have been cinderella it might have been rapunzel i ain't sureWhat was the name of the book about sleeping beauty goldi red riding hood and cinderella in a mad world?
';Sleeping Beauty,'; ';Goldilocks,'; ';Little Red Riding Hood,'; and ';Cinderalla'; have roots in Medieval Europe if not earlier, and often got established in languages other than English (Cinderella in French is ';Cendrillon'; and in German ';Aschenputtel,'; both names alluding to her time in the ashes [i.e., cleaning out the hearth]). ';Little Red Riding Hood'; in German is ';Rotkaepchen'; (';little red-cap';).





If you want the exact same-looking book you had earlier in life, think of e-Bay. I myself would also try Amazon in case it's still in print or availble used.





If what you want are the stories themselves and the book's cover is unimportant, they should be anthologized in a lot of books. Go to the Children's section of a local bookstore and ask for fairy tales or nursery stories. They should have a number of books titled ';Treasury of Young Children's Classics'; or that kind of thing. Check out their Tables of Contents as they are likely all to be a bit different from the rest.





Fortunately, most kids' fairy-tale books are rather cheap, since all the material is in the Public Domain. ';Rapunzel'; is a favorite of mine; also ';The Pied Piper of Hamelin,'; which I think originally came from the German brothers Grimm.
