I didn't have much hope finding it since all I could remember was that it was a yellow book with green binding and an orange dust jacket, but this is it!The stories are often very short, many less than a page; they don't always have a beginning, middle, and end; and several of them are variations on the same tale (there are at least three that are some variation of 'Cinderella'). The fairy tales are not at all PC, the heroes often lie, cheat, kill others, and get away with it, many of the characters are no better than caricatures, the language is archaic, the descriptions are often graphic, the endings are not all happy, and usually there is no moral to be gained. So why do I like it? Because of those reasons - nobody has rewritten them to soften them up for young audiences, or to add a moral, or make sure the heroes are faultless. I'm sure that they were rewritten by the nameless editor at Nelson Doubleday somewhat to reflect the times this was published in, but they are decidedly un-Disney.So this isn't a good choice if you want a collection of stories to read to your toddler at bedtime. Why, then, did I try so hard to find it? Because they're unlike any modern story I've read. There aren't twist endings, the plots are predictable, the characters are familiar, but the stories themselves are inspiring. There are fairy tales in here that have yet to be turned into movies, such as 'The Twelve Dancing Princesses' and 'East of the Sun, West of the Moon' and other half-remembered stories that have been tickling the back of my brain since sixth grade that are just dying to be turned into modern books. There are others that read like case studies on the hero's journey.I've been nostalgic, and finding this is like seeing an old friend again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grimm's fairytales *by L***O on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2019* Gift for my daughter and she has always loved Grimm's fairytales. ### ⭐⭐ Poor condition *by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2021* Book arrived poorly packaged and in poor condition.
