fruitsaladsk's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 17%

Sooo boring

What a wonderfull collection of stories. Of course all the classics and favourites(snow white, sleeping beauty, rapunzel, etc.) And so many more. It was a treat to read these stories. The only thing that prevented me from giving 5 stars is that there are many many stories which are so alike it's neigh impossible to distinguish them from one another. But a gorgeous book, beautiful collection and a definite recommendation from me

I had more fun with these fairytales 

A nice volume of "grimmy" fairy tales, haha, and the illustrations were really good.

I definitely need to buy the huge tome with all the tales eventually. This version had the following ones:

"The Goose-Girl," "The Little Brother and Little Sister," "Hansel and Gretel," "Oh, If I Could but Shiver!", "Dummling and the Three Feathers," "Little Snow-White," "Frederick and Catherine," "The Valiant Little Tailor," "Little Red-Cap," "The Golden Goose," "Bearskin," "Cinderella," "Faithful John," "The Water of Life," "Thumbling," "Briar Rose," "The Six Swans," "Rapunzel," "Mother Holle," "The Frog Prince," "The Travels of Tom Thumb," "Snow White and Rose Red," "The Three Little Men in the Wood," "Rumpelstiltskin," and "Little One-Eye, Two-Eyes, and Three-Eyes."

Some had a very similar concept, and that took away from my experience.

Nonnullos apologos grimmianos latine legi. Editio, quam legi, a Sigride Albert(a) in Saraviponti anno millesimo nongentesimo octogesimo octavo post Christum natum edita est. Pleraeque fabulae tantum mediocres erant, sed nonnullae iucundiores erant. (Fabula "de vitae spatio temporis" mihi maxime placuit.)
