5.0 out of 5 stars FABULOUS!, 11 Mar 1999
By A Customer
I love this book, it's so handy to have all of their fairy tales in one, and the old style illustrations are charming. Call me childish, but I never get tired of reading fairy tales. This book is also good bargain - can you imagine what it would cost to buy all of the fairy tales book by book?

3.0 out of 5 stars MIXED FEELINGS, 28 Mar 1998
By A Customer
I loved the old fashioned illustrations but it wasn't "genuine Grimms" in my opinion and the stories themselves had been rearranged from their original order. A common mistake, but I prefer the stories as they were meant to be arranged.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hard To Read The Dark Side Is, 3 Feb 2009
By Gannon (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
An enjoyable read but one that causes a lot of questions.

There are many favourites in here told as they were before Disney got a hold of them, like Snow White, and lots and lots of ones you won't know. Typicallly the tales last 3 or 4 pages and only 5 minutes to read which make them great for those with little time, and it doesn't matter if you leave a time before delving back in, as the tales are unrelated.

This book will halp anyone who has writer's block; the imagery and imagination in the tales is unabound.

Though personally, I felt a lot of the tales finished unsatisfactarily. Often there is no happy ending, with which I don't have a problem, but more often still there is hardly an ending at all. This will be because these tales aren't stories per se, and rather the result of decades of 'Chinese Whispers'.

Whilst possibly unsatisfactory, the collection is a good read and recommended to anyone with a slightly dark side.
