Grimm Tales: For Young and Old by Philip Pullman

3.0

---

I liked Philip Pullman's retelling of the stories, it was the actual stories I didn't enjoy. There's nothing more boring than having to read the same four stories in rotation, told in slightly different ways. Fairy tales are an important part of literature and I enjoyed them individually but not the book as a whole. It's definitely not something you should read in one sitting but something to savour over many days.
