The Black Book of Fairy Tales

A 16th century book of fairy tales by Angelica Larston. It is featured in the Read or Die Read or Die Manga 1. Yomiko Readman's first assignment is to prove the book's authenticity as an original and to retreive the book for the Special Operations Division.

Not much is known about the book. Unlike many books in the series it does not appear to have any unusual properties.
