I am trying to identify and purchase a copy of a children’s lit anthology I had as a child. The copy I had was hardcover, gray binding with a bright green repeating motif on the cover. Among the stories included was HC Andersen’s “The Wild Swans.” There was another story about a princess sent to live with a family that had five girls whose last names ended in “-belle,” and a youngest sister Echo.
Stump the Bookseller
New format, same book stumper solving.
I don’t know the anthology, but I know the name of the story with the princess and the girls with the youngest called Echo! It’s The Plain Princess. The other girls were Annabelle, Christabelle, Dulcibelle, and Floribelle.

I think I may have found the anthology! Is it Time for Fairy Tales, Old and New?

Or it could be The Family Treasury of Children’s Stories, Volume 2. Photos below.
