The Annotated Brothers Grimm by Maria Tatar, Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm
5.0
November 2011 - Holy fuckballs. I checked this book out from the library, read it all the way through, and did not in any way recall having read it two years ago.
Is this what going mad feels like?

Okay, with the loving of this book!
I read some fairytales I know and love, and some I've never heard of. All of them were just different enough for me to truly enjoy them, especially since I'd never read the "original" versions before. Didn't know what actually happened to Cinderella's stepsisters at the end. The annotations were wonderfully fun, and gave insight into parts I might've skipped over without wondering about. Just a wonderful book!
The adult fairytales at the end were deeply disturbing, though. I understand why they were included, but ye gods.
