Day 27: Grimms Fairy Tales (Folio Society)

Perhaps the greatest collection of fairy tales. The Brothers Grimm has provided fodder for my imagination for years. The unforgettable opening of “once upon a time” will bring you back to the timeless realm of knights and princesses, goblins and giants, wizards and witches. The adventures are all here – they will fall in love, seek wealth, and scheme for power, revealing through the fantastical and magical, very fundamental and human truths about ourselves. What was originally a staple of Western culture is now a treasured collection of tales around the world. Grimms’ best fables includes such classics as “Cinderella,” “Snow White,” “Hansel and Grethel,” “Rumpelstiltskin,” “and “The Frog Prince,” and “Little Red Riding Hood.”
