I had a Fairy tale and Nursery rhyme book when i was a child in the 80’s so i’m assuming it was printed before or up to the late 80’s. It was a big heavy red book and the title included Fairy tales and Nursery Rhymes. The cover had little red riding hood and various characters from all the stories inside. Stories included Cinderella, snow white, heidi, jack and the beanstalk,sleeping beauty, tom thumb, little red riding hood to name a few and some of the rhymes included the old woman that lived in a shoe, little polly flinders, jack and jill, little jack horner, twinkle twinkle little star. I managed to find some of the illustrations on the net but they had no information as to where they came from. I’ll include them with this post. They’re all beautiful color illustrations. So if any one has any idea of the name of this book it would be hugely appreciated
Try The Classic Volland Edition Great Children’s Stories. The pictures you posted are a little small for me to see closely, but this might be a match.
I think this is ‘The Children’s Bedtime Book’ by Mae Broadley, illustrated by Mary Smith, Jo Eaves, and Anna Dzierzek (1984).
You can see the cover and a few of the illustrations here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/158194943/the-childrens-bedtime-book-exeter-books
Just a follow-up to my suggestion for Mae Broadley’s ‘The Children’s Bedtime Book’ – I compared the pictures on the cover to the ones in your request, and this has to be the one. Red Riding Hood, Baby Bear, Cinderella’s coach, and Jack (from Jack and the Beanstalk) are all on the cover, and all of them match the examples in the pictures you’ve provided.
