Chronicle As Books Grimm's Fairy Stories
Grimm’s Fairy Tales by Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm is a 2014 Open Road Media publication. (Originally published in 1812)This compilation is a sampling of Grimm’s Fairy Tales- featuring some of the more well-known stories like ‘Rapunzel’ and ‘Briar Rose’- aka ‘Sleeping Beauty'. However, I didn’t know well over half of the stories included in this book.
So, it was fun to read ‘new to me’ Grimm’s Fairy Tales.
While some of my favorite stories as a child came from the Disney adaptations, which were seriously toned down, I do remember hearing the original versions of some of these tales.
One of my favorite stories is the ‘The Elves and the Shoemaker'. I read that story over and over as a child. So, it was fun revisiting some old favorites, and discovering ones I’d never read before.
Some of the stories are similar, and some were far better than others. Some were barely a page long, while others were several pages in length. Some readers, younger than I am, who may be discovering these tales for the first time, might be taken aback by the dark and violent nature of some of the stories, and some may find some attitudes off putting. Some younger children could find a few of these tales disturbing.
However, keep in mind the time frame in which the books were written and try not to judge them too harshly. Frankly, I appreciated the moral of many of these tales- and everything always works out in the end.
Overall, I enjoyed reading the books in this collection, bringing back a few childhood memories and providing me with a nice change of pace, as well.

4.5I love Fairy Tales, and usually can't resist different lavishly illustrated versions. However, what attracted me to this copy was that is a light paper back with no illustrations and a nice selection of stories (45 of them). It made for a literal light read, in comparison to my enormous illustrated editions, which are undeniably stunning but also not practical to read outside of the house. It was fun to judge the Fairy tales on the story alone, to revisit old favourites such as CinderellaObviously these tales are classics and this collection is certainly a lovely one. At the same time it is also interesting to think of how much better (not to mention kid-friendly) more modern takes on these stories are. I think if you enjoyed the classic Disney movies as a kid, you should definitely give this one a read since it is very interesting to see what inspired those movies.I also listened to this on audiobook which worked out really great since these are kind of meant to be told out
So I imagine that everyone comments on this, but first off it's worth saying that this collection of tales is a real eye-opener when set beside the Disney canon. I was aware of the major differences in some of the stories, like Cinderella with the fur slipper instead of glass and the sisters doing some fairly terrible things to themselves but I never imagined for example that Disney deleted Snow White's sister from the story altogether. In terms of writing style, most of these tales are short
Although Grimm Brothers Fairy Tales often give one a moral lesson, such as beware of strangers bearing gifts, they too often portray that unless a woman is young and beautiful, she is doomed to a life of woe and drudgery. These particular stories are harmful to girls self-esteem. To think that you dont deserve to be rich and/or powerful unless youre good-looking in the beginning immediately cancels out any ambition to strive for a better life, for most girls.For example, in THE GOOSE GIRL, The
Arguably the best collection/translation of Grimms fairy tales is The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm edited/translated by Jack
Loved the narration, liked some of the stories too, though some of them weren't familiar.
