After reading other customer reviews about this book I couldnt wait to have it to hand for I was running out of ideas for the childrens' bedtime story.When you open it up you find hundreds of stories to choose from but unfortunately as I started to read it I was constantly being interupted with questions of "what does 'hast thou' mean daddy ?" and "whats 'ran thither to entreat him' mean ?" and "whats 'hark thee'?".For the book is full of oldy worldy sayings. I found it quite useful to read ahead before reading it at bedtime. It saves lots of questions and time.
Grimm fairy tales review - Rated
For the fan of fairy tales this book is a lovely addition to any collection. Although lengthy and perhaps not the best introduction to the works of the Grimm brothers, it is comprehensive. The stories are short enough to read aloud and the illustrations are simple and compliment the stories well. I give this book four stars only because I would have liked more illustrations and would have liked the book to be more child friendly.
Everlasting - Rated
I knew some of Grimms fairy tales but had no idea they had written so many - and here they all are! If you are hoping for the sanitised Disney version you'll be disappointed - these are the real stories and there's a whole HEAP of them. Don't just buy it for your kids - buy it for yourself, its Fabulous!
Fantastic - for old & young alike - Rated
You don't have to be a child to enjoy this book - the stories are funny, interesting and relevent. The characters & situations they portray can be applied to everyday people & situations - thus the sign of great storytelling - these stories are timeless. A great book to pick up for a quick read - some of the stories are only one page long. Definitely a book to have your collection.
