I enjoyed this book. Some of the tales I knew others I did not. A few were very bleak. The illustrations were well done. I will be looking out for Vol I for this was Vol II. (

Grimm's folktales retold in a vibrant and engaging manner. This was my first time reading the tale called "The Juniper Tree", and it struck me as having that morbid edge that so many folktales contain. (
