Chapter 15 : Grimm's Fairy Tales

Do you know that there is a book that covers children fairy tales with dark ending? Such as Cinderella where the ending is the stepsisters cut their toes so their feet can fit into the slipper? Or even Rapunzel that banished into the desert? 

Yup, in fact, there is a book about that. The Grimm brothers were early 19th-century writers best known for their fairy tales coming from Scandinavian, Icelandic and Germanic origins. By 1807 there was a growing interest in German folk tales. The Grimm brothers were academics who invited friends to their home and asked them to relate stories they had heard. They soon published their first collection of tales and from there several more volumes followed.

This compilation of fairy tales which includes the complete canon of over 200 tales has become a beloved set of classical stories the world over. Included in this collection are Hansel and Gretel, Briar Rose, The Fisherman and His Wife, Rapunzel, The Frog Prince, Little Red Riding Hood, Rumpelstiltskin, Tom Thumb, and many more. These stories are a delight to read and will rekindle up many childhood memories as they are reread.

If you love dark stories, you have to read this! Personally I rated this book for 4/5 ✩. It is a really interesting and unique book, if you haven't read classic at least you have to read this one hahah.
