Summary: One of my favorite fairy tales ever
Comment: I must agree, this isn't really a children's book, but that's beside the point. Have you ever read Romeo and Juliet? This has a slightly similar concept, of death for love but a greater happiness waiting somewhere else. This, as the name suggests, it a dark, almost sinister sounding book from the start, but the flowing words and sorrowful tone lead up to a bittersweet ending. It's definitely not for kids under 5, but if the child is mature enough to see a good book, then this is a wonderful choice. Plus, the pictures are absolutely gorgeous.

Summary: Not for children, bad lesson here
Comment: I bought a used copy of this book after seeing a glowing recommendation on the web.
This fairy tale book is certainly not for children, and probably not for adults either. This book teaches that two young people may have an infatuation that is a "greater love" than anyone else has ever known. And what better way to show your love? The answer of this book: Commit suicide!
What a vile and dangerous lesson, especially for teenagers.
