Getting this book in the school library was so difficult because everybody wanted it and it was always issued to someone or the other. So our school decided to add more copies of this book to the library.

I loved this, but definitely would not recommend this to kids too young. I read Juniper Tree and it haunted me, but out of all the fairytales I read, strangely enough, Juniper Tree is my favorite!

The brothers Grimm are so well-named for their really dark fairy tales haha. Stories involving a sausage, a bird, a bean, for example, will have you wondering how on Earth these two even came up with their content! They make for a really great read on a chilly night.

I love the fairy tales by the brothers Grimm. They made my younger days special and unique because my reading interest was piqued by the fables. They aptly represent that period in time. I thus developed a reading culture that I have never lost. The stories were and still are special and I do still read them occasionally.

Reading the Grimm Fairytales kinda scared me when I was younger. I was used to the white-washed Disney versions of the stories. Reading the original, much darker versions left me traumatised.
