[Rob · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good collection of some great German heroic stories and legends. All of it is very gruesome, which wouldn't surprise anyone whose read the original versions of our familiar faery tales (ie Cinderella). This is probably obvious, but it is in German. Just so nobody runs out and buys it and gets upset at me for not specifying.
