Grimms’ Fairy Tales
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textA collection of folk tales gathered from oral tradition, considerably darker and stranger in their original form than the versions most readers grew up with. The brothers meant it partly as scholarship, preserving a vanishing oral culture, and it became something else entirely once the world got hold of it. Read the older tellings; the wolves rarely get the mercy the modern versions grant them.
