One of my favorite books to this day is called Poison by Chris Wooding, which is a beautiful novel that follows the path of a fairy tale while questioning the logic behind the story style. Holly Black also had written a trilogy that still sits on my shelf consisting of Tithe, Valiant and Ironside that explore celtic faerie lore existing in the modern world. Both books are YA but I would recommend them to anyone above the age of 16.

Oh yes! I always read the original Grimm's fairy tales and Hans Christian Anderson. I thought Grimm's fairy tales were a tad bit gruesome but I never paid much attention as a kid. Now, I realize how twisted the end of Snow White was and a few other tales as well.Tbunde5 wrote: ↑27 Apr 2018, 22:44 The original Grimm’s Fairy Tales are the best (rather than the Disney versions). They are very dark for young children, however. Of course, I grew up on Mother Goose, and she’s pretty gruesome as well when you know the history. Aesop’s Fables are also a great read for kids.

My parents read fairy tales and myths to me too. I liked "The Snow Queen", "Wild Swans" and some other fairy tales.rubinelli wrote: ↑03 Jan 2019, 17:51 I loved reading Fairy tales when I was young. My father would often read Greek myths to me and my mom would read from this old green book with various fables and fairy tales in it. I think that my parents really influenced my love for books. They read to both me and my brother when we were small. When I grew older, I would always read a book before bed. for a long time, I couldn't sleep well if I didn't read a book before. This changed in college as my sleeping schedule was disrupted and I often fell asleep studying at 2am. lol
