Grimms Fairy Tales: A Selection
by Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm
dark
mysterious
fast-paced
I was expecting these stories to be a lot darker, considering the reputation the Grimms have. But most of these stories were just plain boring. And sexist. Which is ironic considering that the person who wrote the introduction tries to make us believe they didn’t espouse patriarchy 🤣
