"There are a ton of stories! Some stories are totally crazy and ridiculous but in a fantastical way. I wouldnt expect any less. So it's fun and interesting, gives you an idea of what children stories where like years ago."

    " I'm not sure if there are close to the original stories or not. They are quite a bit different from the Disney versions. I was also surprised how many modern adaptations were combinations of multiple fairy tales. "

    " Wow. These are not your Disney sugar coated fairy tales, although everyone does end up living happily ever after. Well, almost everyone. It was interesting to read them in their original forms, though. "

    " Yipes, and to think I enjoyed these as an impressionable child! What were the Brothers Grimm, and my beloved Walt Disney smoking? "

    " Not a bad book. It was a good book but a lot of the stories were not quite what i think they are really like. It seemed like a cross between the Disney version and the real version. Not a bad book, a very interesting read and pretty quick. I enjoyed it. "

    " In theory, a nice collection of well-known fairy tales and stories. In reality, very dry. I'm glad to read some of the original stories as they were told and not how Walt Disney re-told them. "

    " I probably wouldn't have read this had it not been free for kindle. There're some favorites in here, but while I enjoy fairytails in general, I much prefer the unfiltered Grimm's. I mean, Cinderella's just not the same without some good ole toe carnage. "

    " Some of these stories were new to me, and others I was familiar with, buit my overall impression was "disturbing." I am glad I read this myself before I read it to my kids. "

    " A slight monograph on the economic and foreign policy achievements of the Obama administration that is hindered by its insistence on using gender neutral characterizations and dietary advice after each story. "
