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.
The king as a beautiful but spoiled daughter. Not a surprise.
He sees that she is spoiled after she makes fun of all the princes that come and want her hand in marriage. So he marries her to a beggar.
WHAT.
So anyway, sorry for my mental breakdown, he begins to humble her spirit.
After many unfortunate events, she becomes a cook at the palace.
When her older brother is getting married, she makes a big mess of things and is made fun of!
So, will she get her happily ever after with the beggar? IDK READ THE BOOK.
