Grimm Tales: For Young and Old by Philip Pullman
4.0
6.5/10.
The pros: I thoroughly enjoyed the way Pullman wrote these stories and I enjoyed a majority of them! I didn't think I'd get into a book like this too easily, but I found that I kept wanting to continue reading and read the next story. I knew a significant amount of these tales but definitely not all of them, so this was a good introduction to the others.
The cons: The stories Pullman chose to retell here became a tad repetitive and he seemed pretty judgmental about some of them in his notes about them.
The conclusion: Enjoyable, though not essential.
