Grimm's Fairy Tales by Jacob Grimm
3.0

I would still like to read the original tales of the Grimm brother's, I hear that not all of them ended as the translated ones do.

This was good, but very repetitive in storylines. Sometimes I would start reading a story and be convinced I've read it before just to learn of a new twisted ending.
These stories do have a darker more sinister undertone than the modern fairytales we know, but much of the evil is lost in translation - pun intended.

I still enjoyed most of the stories and characters. Almost all the modern fairytales were born from the Grimm brother's, whom without I believe we wouldn't have had todays awesome tales.
