Some of these were actually interesting, some of them were worthy of being prescribed as sleep medication, some had me laughing hysterically because of the sheer absurdity, while some where deeply dark and thought-provoking. Once you're toward the end of this collection, the formula of how these are written are laughingly predictable and that did remove a lot of the fun for me. I will be reading them to my future children though so I suppose that tells you something. Also, the introduction to this collection is entirely worth the read, quite a unique pair were the Grimms.
