Grimm Tales: For Young and Old by Philip Pullman

2.0

A retelling of fifty fairy tales from the Grimm brothers by Philip Pullman. Some are famous some are not (Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood…)

It was alright but not very exciting, and I loved this tales when I was younger. I guess I found that the writing lacked a little bit of poetry as the retelling is extremely straight to the point and can seem a bit dull.

I wish there was more in-dept commentaries or anecdotes from Pullman as well ! Otherwise a quite complete collection to come back to.
