The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales by Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm

1.0

This is a collection of stories by the brothers Grimm that are the ‘darker’ version of the fairytales from Disney.

I so badly wanted to enjoy these stories as I was really looking forward to discovering the initial inspiration for Disney movies and how they fluffed up their original dark origin- but I just didn’t! I spent most of the time reading these confused by the lack of plot and/or meaning to the stories, as well as not understanding the ways in which they were written (I will give some leeway on that one as it isn’t in its original language!) 

Overall I just didn’t enjoy and wouldn’t re read these again- I’ll stick to the fluffy Disney movies!
