slypig 's review for:

Grimm's Fairy Tales by Jacob Grimm, Ludwig Emil Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm

5.0

---

It took me four years to finish this book. It's been on my "currently reading" shelf as long as I've had a Goodreads account; it'll be weird not seeing fairy tale recommendations all the time now. As with most collections of stories, this book doesn't really lend itself well to a straight read-through. I took it in phases: sometimes I would read myself a story or two as I went to bed, and sometimes I would just pull it out whenever I needed a little bit of fairy tale in my life. Finally finishing the book kind of feels like the end of an era for me, but I'll be sure to read it again as my kids get older and can enjoy bedtime stories.
