Originally titled Children’s and Household Tales, The Complete Grimm’s Fairy Tales contains the essential bedtime stories for children worldwide for the better part of two centuries. The Brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm, were German linguists and cultural researchers who gathered legendary folklore and aimed to collect the stories exactly as they heard them. 2012 marked the 200th anniversary of Grimm’s Fairy Tales, and what better way to celebrate than to include all 211 stories into the Knickerbocker Classic Series?
If you heard or read some of the classic tales for children then I would say that they are this book is a must read.
To be fully honest reading this book is a pure enjoyment and pleasure because it is very nostalgic to return to some tales and stories I’ve heard when I was very small but this time in their original version which is slightly different from the version kids now hear and read with their parents.
The majority of the tales in this book are dark in a way, but to be honest I liked them much better in this original form because I am a huge horror fan. These tales are dark but they won’t raise in you the fear but rather introduce you the gothic vibe in a way but also this old time vibe which I personally am a huge fan of.
Both all of the stories and the illustrations in this book are just amazing and magical in a way. For me it was like returning to childhood again.
This book is very quick and enjoyable read. And the cover which I personally have is to die for.
All of the tales in this book were written 1800s ish and you can truly feel the old vibe to all of the stories which really gives these stories more fun and more unique vibe.
The writing style in all of the stories are very good and it really gives you the old time vibe as I’ve said before.
I Give Play 5 / 5
