finish reading Grimm's fairy tales

I read a complete anthology of Grimm Fairy tales bit by bit. Some of the stories are less than a page long, and very easy to read even if you only have a minute.

I left the book lying around so much that my husband read a few of the super-short stories in it, and he commented that some of them were “really weird.” Yes, they were! Some of the stories were pretty bizarre. But interesting. A significant number involved death. You might term some of the stories “grim.” Ho ho ho. (Merry Christmas!)

I think at least the most famous stories are worth reading to see what they were in their original form, before being sanitized/Disneyed. Many of the stories I grew up reading/hearing/seeing more sunny versions of were here: Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel and Grethel, Little Red Riding Hood.

I bought a really nice, leather bound edition of Grimm’s fairy tales from B&N for about $20. I still haven’t read it. I’m going to bring it back up to school once I go home for thanksgiving.
