English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs
3.0
Fairy Tales for grownups
It's interesting to see original fairytales, some of them I knew, some of them have their version in my languange, and some of them are pretty cruel.
Archaic sentences made me skip some parts of stories, and old English isn't that attractive to read.
Nevertheless it's a fine read to fulfill your time, and definitely it's not for children - it's for those who enjoy a good scary old story that borderlines with horror and gruesome descriptions innocent people dying. It also got some stories that are funny.
