These are not your typical children's fairy tales that we all heard when we
were children. They are tales of murder, kidnapping, cruel corporal
punishment, and violent revenge. They are tales that are presented as they
were originally collected by the Grimm brothers with gory, unpolitically
correct, sickening horror filled details. With color plates, and beautiful
illustrations done by Tracy Arah Dockray and the introduction done by Maria
Tatar. A definite must have for anyone who loves gore and horror tales to
add to their library of literature.
