Man märker helt klart att sagorna har inspirerat mååånga olika böcker och filmer, och en hel del av sagorna är relativt bra. Däremot finns det också ett par som är rätt så upprepande och intetsägande. Väldigt intressant att få en inblick i de sagor som tidigare berättades, men det är ingen wow-faktor just i själva historierna
Note to self: it is bad to be ugly. Or lazy. Or old. Or a stepmother. Or a stepsister. Or poor. Or a woman...
It was interesting to actually go through and read these familiar stories in their original form. It makes it super obvious that they originally existed as a means to teach children to be proper citizens and it offers a very interesting historical insight.

It's astounding how awful the parents are in all of these.
This was my first introduction to the original brothers Grimm stories and over the years i've read each story dozens of times. What really stands out about this edition are the notes and annotations throughout which give a somewhat academic insight into the origins and variations of each story, as well as the truly outstanding illustrations in a variety of diverse styles that continue to inspire a childish wonder in me even now.
A classic, and not the watered-down, prettified Disney classics. Gorey, dark, and wonderful.
