I love the stories... but dislike the edition. I bought it because it is a nice hardback that looks good on the shelf. Unfortunately, Barnes & Noble doesn't include any forward, afterward or footnotes ~ just presents the stories. Again, I love the stories, but would have also liked a little more information about their origin, etc. But I suppose this is how Barnes & Noble is able to publish such a pretty book for such a low price.Even though I like some of the Disney movies they're mostly watered down and fluffy versions of these incredibly imaginative, dark and grim folk tales that the brothers Grimm collected. Even though not all the tales are interesting I would happily get this to my bookshelf anyway.And finally, I would like to thank you my Finnish teacher who introduced the morbid world of the Grimms to my class when we were 13. She read the most memorable fairy tales to us under a red lamp and it made me travel
This was a chore to read, I thought it would be brilliant and dark. Sadly, it was anything but, there was the odd moment of slight creepiness but that was about it. Out of the two hundred or so stories, there were only a few that stood out the rest were all repetitive, it felt like I was reading the same story over and over. I was getting sick of the same themes, characterizations and dynamics used. The message throughout was that:-All stepmothers are bitter, jealous, evil, immoral, lazy and
I think this is an absolutely important book for everyone to read. The story tropes are important for appreciation of other later works in all forms of entertainment. So why did I give it three stars?Because so many of the stories in here are not ones that you have heard before, and for good reason, they are either boring, a copy of an earlier story in the same work (there about seven stories of Clever So-and-So that all follow nearly the same story path), or dont really teach anything. Also,
I was gifted a lovely edition of this - which was incredibly thoughtful, since there was no occasion for it. So, this is a 'review' as much as it is a perfect bout of nostalgia for me. There are 211 tales in here so I'm not able to, nor would I want to comment on them all.Grimm's tales are known all over the world - Hanzel and Gretel, Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, The Frog Prince - everyone knows these, right? What about The Old Beggar-Woman, One-Eye, Two-Eyes, And Three-Eyes, The White Bride And
Its hard to rate a book when they are filled with multiple stories where some are bad and some are good, hence why it has received a 3 starsI only really read the stories that I were interested in reading. Most of them, after a certain point, I didn't read.The ones that I did read I enjoyed.
A leather-bound work, a cover worked in line with the theme of tales, pages with golden borders, numerous illustrations in colour and black and white, and above all, the most important: the complete tales of Grimm as well as their "Children's Legends".A magnificent book that brings together all the texts of the most famous brothers collecting tales. All are there, from the best known as "Cinderella", "Rapunzel" or "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" to the lesser-known.A magnificent collection
