Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales
Fairy tales
Books-A-Million

Hardcover

For almost two centuries, the stories of magic and myth gathered by the Brothers Grimm have been part of the way children—and adults—learn about the vagaries of the real world. Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow-White, Hänsel and Gretel, Little Red-Cap (a.k.a. Little Red Riding Hood), and Briar-Rose (a.k.a. Sleeping Beauty) are only a few of more than 200 enchanting characters included here. Lyrically translated and beautifully illustrated, the tales are presented just as Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm originally set them down: bold, primal, just frightening enough, and endlessly engaging.
WrensReads Review:
I have the complete set of the Grimm Fairy-Tales, and there are so many that I haven’t read! They are very short, as one would know, so I have decided to read each one and give them a review. Some are very vulgar, some are very cute and some don’t even make sense. Some of them are well known fairy-tales and some have never been told. Some are fairy-tales we know but are not the same because they have been downplayed for the children.
This story is a lesson one. Safe for children.
A dog over hears that he is going to be put down the next day because he is too old and he doesn’t scare people anymore. SAD BYE.
Well, he tells his dear old friend the wolf who comes up with a plan for the dog to become a hero in his master’s eyes. And it works! They don’t kill the dog!
Well, the wolf wants something in return (sheep) because, I mean, friends don’t just do nice things for friends obviously. But the dog is loyal to his human and won’t let him.
Well, he wants a dual and challenges the dog.
The dog accepts.
WHO WILL WIN?
