Book 6: THE WICKED AND THE JUST, J. Anderson Coats - So Many Books. Jun 10th, 2012. Book 6: THE WICKED AND THE JUST, J. Anderson Coats. Id have thought it extremely unlikely, but then my 13th century English legal knowledge isnt that solid. 48 hour book challenge. June 11th, 2012 08:30 pm (UTC). I too wondered about the younger brother's expectations and his legal suit. I really liked this book though and thought the contrast between the two girls was done really well.

What if you're not on board with the publishing industry's newly dismissive attitude toward picture book fairy tales for 5- to 8-year-olds? What if you—and your kids—are still in love with fairy tales and their happily-ever-afters? Fortunately, there's a lot of good stuff already in print and still more at your local library. Picture Book Fairy Tales and Folktales. Little Red Riding Hood. Has never been beat. Neither has her. Is a good exampl...
