About this ebook
The Brothers Grimm’s fairy tales are brought to life for a new generation of readers in their original, uncut form by the modern master of gothic horror, Gris Grimly.
Grimm. The name alone is enough to call to mind any number of the timeless fairy tales collected by brothers Jacob and Wilhelm in the early nineteenth century. These folktales have been told and retold in many forms for over two centuries, and while the particular mix of fantasy, adventure, and wonder that defined their seven-volume collection has endured, the terror, violence, and darkness of the original stories has often been lost in translation.
Enter Gris Grimly, who has faithfully reproduced the original text of a selection of tales and adorned them with his own inimitable artwork. The result is a Grimm collection unlike any other, set in a world that is whimsically sinister, darkly vivid, and completely unforgettable.
Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were academics best known for publishing anthologies of folk and fairy tales. Their first collection, Children’s and Household Tales, was published in 1812. They popularized numerous now-classic stories, including Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, and Rumpelstiltskin, among many others.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I've probably read 3 or 4 classic fairy tales in my life, but this was the first time I read this many "at once". There was way too much repetition going on. Every beautiful maiden ended up being "taken to wife" by some king or duke, every step-parent mean (which really sucks if you're a step-parent in real life), evil was always punished, good always prospered. Then there were some completely surreal tales that really made me wonder what kind of drugs were around at the time of composition. One other thing is that in many tales something happened 3 times. This meant that you ended up reading the same page over 3 times and each time there would be only a word or two different. So I found myself skimming. It was never 2 or 4, always 3. So I would suggest reading the stories here and there instead of all in a row.The artwork was amazing and the real reason I bought the book in the first place.
