kelsdan's review against another edition
I wasn’t interested in it. And it was really complex writing and I’m stressed and maybe I’ll read it at another time when I have the patience for deep writing.

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

It was interesting to look at what are mostly well-known stories through an adult and academic lens. It gets a bit repetitive over time, but the lesser-known stories help to break it up.

Charming. So many excellent stories and proverbs throughout.

I had been wanting to read tales in their original versions.
And while some tales were enjoyable, most were poor in today's literary standards.
I found I was reading, just to get passed the tale and onto the next, but the next was just as dull.
If you're studying literature history, this is probably an important book to read. However, if you're reading for pleasure I think modern fairytales are more enjoyable.

Ik denk dat bijna iedereen de meeste bekende sprookjes van Grimm wel kent, oa van Disney natuurlijk :) Echter zijn de sprookjes niet te vergelijken met wat je al dacht te kennen van de sprookjes. Ze zijn niet luguber hoor, dus nog steeds geschikt om voor te lezen aan je kinderen en zeker ook met een duidelijk moraal.
64 sprookjes bevat dit boek, sommige heel kort, en andere langer, maar allemaal leuk :)
