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. Though there are some stories that end up very violently, and left up to the parent if it...

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...

My favorite story was, without a doubt, Cat and Mouse in Partnership. That's the one story that keeps popping into my mind, when I think about what I've rea...

W podstawówce była to obowiązkowa lektura i jedna z niewielu, które przeczytałam w trakcie całej mojej nauki w szkole od początku do końca z niemałą ciekawością. Jestem wielką fanką braci Grimm. Dzięki nim przeniosłam się do świata baśni, do krainy snów i spotkałam się z fantastycznymi postaciami, p...

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...
