The Fisherman & His Wife by Jacob Grimm
5.0

Rating

I’m giving The Fisherman and His Wife is a solider five out of five stars for me.

Genre

The Fisherman and His Wife is a classic children’s faerie tale from the talented pens of the Brothers Grimm.

About the Book

This is a wonderful story about a magical fish, and the consequences of greed.

Why did I choose this book to read?

I have an app on my phone with all the Brothers Grimm stories on it. Coming along this app made me remember how much I had wanted to read the Brothers Grimm stories and to finally catch up on them like I have been trying for years, and I finally decided to start reading them. 

Pricing

Unknown. Read on a free app from the Apple Store.  

What did I think of it?

This is the perfect children’s story. It warns of the dangers of being too greedy, and leaves a large moral of the story left behind for children to learn. Even I’ve been forgetting of these dangers in recent times, and this has reminded me of these dangers. It’s got a strong moral, and I think that every parent should read this at least once to their children.

Did I have any qualms with it?

I have no qualms with The Fisherman and his Wife at all.

Would I recommend it and who to?

Any classical lover, any parent and anyone and everyone.

Overall opinion

This is a wondrous story and I am so grateful I got to read this. It was a heavy reminder to me of what the consequences are of greed. It’s easy to forget, when society now a days is set on making us spend more and more money and want more and more material things. It’s really well written, and it really made me think a lot more about how I do in life at the moment. This is a glorious little story and I genuinely think everyone should read this at least once.
