Reading Notes: Brothers Grimm (Ashliman) Part B

Part B of Ashliman's translation is full of the darker tales. My favorite was the version of Adam and Eve. The thing about the writing though is that it seemed like it still had to do with the haves and have-nots. I know that it is from tales told long ago but I am not a fan of that style. Closes down an audience.

Reading Notes: Brothers Grimm (Ashliman) Part A

These fairy tales are pretty close to what I remember growing up. Minor differences and a little more violent but nothing that a child couldn't read. Little Red Cap instead of Little Red Riding Hood is what I was told growing up and in my opinion was better. Ashliman does a great job with the retelling of these classic fairy tales that is short and a fast read.
