Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales by Angela Carter
3.0
The moral of all this is that it is from such common things that our most blessed foods are made. So just as such common stuff may be transformed under the right circumstance, if you see a man is poor, do not despise him. You do not know but that someday he may be better than you
It took me a little while to get into this book, it felt so weird at the beginning. I'm used to reading books that only tell one story, while here I read around 10 different stories a day. But, even when I got into it, I wasn't enthusiastic about it.
I gave it 3 stars because it's an "average" book: I didn't live it and a lot of times I felt really bored reading it, but didn't hate it either and I actually loved some fairy tales.
It's also interesting to see how many tales have the same pattern and more or less tell the same story (even if they've been written in different countries).
The proverb, when you eat you must spread fingers, means, when you eat, you must eat with people, you must not keep all for yourself. Otherwise, when you have nothing, nobody else is going to give you, because you had not given people what was yours
