The very first one brought me to the magical fairy tale world, and reading this tppk me back to those happy, innocent time, my lovely childhood.
Someone might eventually said quite few times to me that I couldn't grow up if keeping reading fairy tales and children's books, I'd repeat to them time after time that there were plenty lessons to learn just by reading them all and Grimm's stories were the evidence for what I need. Maybe as a child or a full grown-up fairy tales somehow unrealistic because of their always-happy-endings but that what made them called fairy tales. And through all different characters, we found out that all those happy endings came to people who were kind, intelligent, having a warm heart and not ever underestimate anyone in your life, aren't those the lessons we told the children to learn and behave? And yet it was all shown just by stories who were called fairy tales.
Every story brought its own messages about life and I'm happy to be discovered more and more of those lessons hidden in every tiny detail. Except buiding such monotone personalities for their stories (which somehow annoyed me sometimes while reading this but also opportunities for other fairy tales retellings/insprirations to develop), this book is truely a healing and also bring hope to life.
