** spoiler alert ** I love Grimm's Fairy Tales, most especially the orginal versions. I don't think they were intended to be stories for children. For example, in Cinderella the stepsisters actually cut off part of their feet to get the slipper to fit. ( )

The world's favorite stories of princes, princesses, of fortunes found and dreams come true.

A collection of Grimm's Fairy Tales in a collection for adult readers. ( )

This is a collection of Grimm's stories gathered through interviews & research. These stories make for an interesting read. Many of the stories were different versions of a similar story. Some of the stories were a bit cruel, but overall, I do recommend this book. ( )

Summary: This book is a collection of the wonderful works of the Grimm brothers and their famous fairy tales. These are much different than what Disney has produced.

Reaction: This is a collection of all of the works of the Grimm brothers and it has something that everyone can use. There is a story that could relate to anyone in these fairy tales. It is a rollercoaster of Traditional Fantasy stories that we all know, or think we know.

Extension: Some of these stories really must be used for older children or more mature children. Some of these would be great to teach that you can't judge a book by it's cover, and many other life lessons are thrown in these pages. This also would be good to show how some stories are changed for movies. ( )
