This is one of the finest (and most fun) books of a fantastic series, which I would recommend to anyone.
This one is great because it places into perspective all of the Disney Movies we thought we knew when, in fact, they were once terrible stories of death and comeuppance.

A little gruesome in places, but I was well aware exactly WHAT I chose to read.
In case you are wondering...
Morals? What morals? It's Middle Ages, people!

I liked it. Nice refresher. It's also nice to see the mix of styles and approaches to depicting the tales of the Brothers Grimm
