Grimm's Fairy Tales: Selected and Edited for Primary Reader Grades

by Edna Henry Lee Turpin (Editor), Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm

Twenty tales collected from German folklore and immortalized by the brothers Grimm.

Excerpt: "From the first this collection attracted the attention of scholars interested in the literary heritage of the Teutonic peoples. Yet more, it won the hearts of children and established for itself a foremost place among the classics of the nursery. These selections from the "Kinder- und Haus-Märchen" include stories which are prime favorites with children. In language as in thought they are carefully graded to the most youthful readers."

This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project to make the world's books discoverable online.

I really that, at the end of most of the tales, they said the lesson you were supposed to learn by reading it.

My question is do i enjoy this book? well, that's really difficilt to say but i read it nonetheless.

Some of the stories here are good that did teach the readers good moral story but other? like the Hedgehog and the hare, i was like 'what's the point?' or probably I'm just to dumb to realize the morals behind it.

I enjoyed reading some of the stories that I grew up with. There were also some I had never heard of.

It just took me to the little fairy tales I used to admire and hoped, when I was little, to witness such tales. We are never too old to read fairy tales ^^

Giving this a score out of five feels even more arbitrary than usual. I quite enjoyed it, so...3/5? (5/5 for cultural and folk-historical importance though, obvs).
