I started reading this book on January 2 of this year and I’ve been slowly, slowly working my way through it. It’s 752 pages and contains 211 stories. I think, if I had tried to read this book all at once, I probably would have given up on it. As it is, I’m not sure finishing it is the wisest thi...
This is a book filled with many different stories by The Grimm Brothers. This would be an excellent book for older students who are looking at myths, folktales, and short stories.
I absolutely love the Grimm fairytales. I think that you could do a lot with this in the 5th-6th grade. Like comparing the Grimm fairytales to other versions of the stories.
This collection is a load of interesting little stories. These originals are way more twisted than fairytales of my childhood. In these versions, the repercussions are more bloody and less forgiving.
After soldiering through the preface, the introduction, the essay on the stories’ origins and cultural effects, and the first 19 tales, I skipped ahead to the biographical essay, the Grimms’ original prefaces, and the collected quotes on fairy tales; then I went back and read two more of the more ic...
I have to admit that this is my second time reading through this. Each different editions. There is nothing like a classic, and the way each story seems like it's being told by the fireside is a wonderful read.

My version has twenty-...
Admito, antes de comenzar, que no he leído los cuentos de hadas clásicos, transcritos por los coleccionistas (los hermanos Grimm, Charles Perrault, Madame d'Aulnoy) y hace mucho deseaba empezar cuando me encontré con esta versión, donde Philip Pullman, autor de La materia oscura, elige cincuenta cue...

I adore fairy tales. Have I said that before? Because I really do. And it's especially interesting seeing the same basic fairy tales retold by the different classics. For instance, both Perrault and the brothers Grimm included Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Sleeping Beauty, among others, an...
