Grimms' Fairy Tales and Andersen's Fairy Tales, by Hans Christian Andersen

5.0

I read so many fairy tales from these authors, and I am still looking for more!!! There are so many different version of each tale, and so many stories from each culture. For example, in 3 different kinds of Cinderella, the stepsisters are either forgiven, ignored, or, as in the French version, their eyes were pecked out by wild birds. In Snow White, she and the Prince forced the Wicked Queen into burnning hot shoes where she was forced to dance 'til she was dead. Even the Little Mermaid was strange as the original, she got lungs and commited suicide by drowning, and is now waiting to go to heaven. But with a diferent spin off of old stories, there are many new ones that have never been heard of. It is fun to read and compare to many other tales, for anyone.
