Grimm's Fairy Stories

1. I grew up on and love the Grimm's Fairy Tales and Aesop's Fairy Tales
2. Brokeback Mountain by Annie Proulx
3. I can't think of a 3rd that I've read, but I'm really looking forward to reading Christmas and Other Horrors: A Winter Solstice Anthology edited by Ellen Datlow
**Edited to add a novella I just remembered; funny because I didn't read it that long ago and I really enjoyed it: The Plotinus by Rikki Ducornet

Thanks for the tag, @hannah-leeloo! 😊

1. Tagged. My grandmother had a huge, ancient edition printed in old Fraktur hand, which I learned to read at an early age (around six or so...) It was my fave book for many years and I pored over it for countless hours...

2. Cold, grey and rainy ☔

3. The wonderful men in my life... 😊

Wanna play, @RaeLovesToRead @MySharonaK @BeeMagical ?

StaceGhost This was mine too! My dad had a leather-bound, gilt-paged edition that made me feel like I was reading something so magical. I stole it when I moved out haha! (edited) 3y

Yuki_Onna @StaceGhost I feel you so much! 😁 I also stole that old edition when I moved out *cough* (i.e. I *convinced* my grandmother she wasn't interested in that book anymore anyway...) 3y

StaceGhost @Yuki_Onna hooray! What a gorgeous heirloom! I would love to see a picture of the Fraktur (edited) 3y

Grimms' Fairy Tales | The Brothers Grimm

I‘m new to graphic novels, but I‘ve had a few that I have loved. I think they are a great way to beat yearly reading challenges. Today on my blog I talked about a few of my favorite graphic novels. But I‘m still new to the format so I would love to hear some recommendations!

https://readinginthewildwood.com/2020/12/16/graphic-novels-for-beginners/

flying_monkeys Other fairy-tale inspired GNs:

If you want something kinda, well really, twisted check out the I Hate Fairyland series. I sum it up as a hilarious vulgar romp through a deranged Fairyland. You've been warned. 🤣

Baba Yaga's Assistant by Marika McCoola

Through the Woods by Emily Carroll

For other genres, recommend the Shuri series by Nnedi Okorafor; anything by Sarah Andersen, and the Lumberjanes series. 4y

wildwoodreads @flying_monkeys Thanks so much! I will check these out! 💕 4y

Grimms' Fairy Tales | The Brothers Grimm

Originally known as the Children's and Household Tales (Kinder- und Hausmärchen in German), it‘s a collection of fairy tales by the Grimm brothers or Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm who collected fairy tales and folklore from around the country. Tales like Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Greek, and Rapunzel were originally from #Germany before they and many others were passed on to English language and culture.

I went to the Austin Central Library to check out Mirror Mirrored in their gallery. It‘s a contemporary take on Grimm‘s fairy tales using different art forms (photos, videos, fabric, and more). I didn‘t take as much time as I probably needed to fully reflect on it but it was interesting. I‘m glad they put a gallery in but I don‘t know if they really get the word out as much as they could.

Here‘s a book of fairy tales and a book of New York stories. #afairytaleofny I got the Grimm book as a gift for my 7th birthday and I remember being horrified when I read the undisneyfied version of Cinderella. Way more gory. #winterwonderland

Cinfhen, TrishB

TrishB Yes - the originals are definitely a bit heavier! 6y

Cinfhen Wow!!! How awesome that you saved your copy!!!!! 6y

Blaire @Cinfhen yes! I held on to it because my friend had written an inscription on the inside. 6y

Cinfhen Good for you!!! I wish I was smart enough to have done that 6y

And this beautiful book was only $2! I am not interested in pristine antiques, I much prefer a book that looks it‘s age! I have a thing for those Grimm boys, and am thrilled to have found this!
