COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Really Good submitted by Avliss on July 31, 2014, 7:58pm I've always loved reading fairy tales and folk tales, and I can honestly say that this collection is one of the best. Some of the stories, like the Frog King, Hansel and Gretel, or Rumpelstiltskin are familiar, and others are not. But each one is brilliantly crafted, with a few new details to draw us in.

Good submitted by eerosenberg on July 7, 2017, 9:57am It is super fun to read old fairy tales and compare them to the new ones we have today. This book is a collection of lots of great fairy tales. Many of them have a little bit of a very popular story such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and The Princess and the Frog.

Different than other versions of the stories submitted by sumisood on July 23, 2023, 11:31pm It's really interesting to compare the Brother's Grimm princess stories, and the ones we have now.
