Re: Grimms Fairy Tales
I'm so glad this room was created. Barnes and Noble just published a special collection of Grimms' Fairy Tales for ONLY $20, and I bought it because I want my son and my students to experience the brilliance of these works. There is so much that could be said!!!Suzanne wrote:Does anyone want to read a fairy tale?

Re: Grimms Fairy Tales
I owe the Brothers Grimm a great debt of gratitude for stimulating my interest in reading before I even started school. After reading several of their stories, I went on to scour our local library for any other fairy tales I could find, eventually devouring everything they had by Hans Christian Anderson, Charles Perrault, Charles Dodgson, and, later, Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss). From there, I graduated to SF and Fantasy, and finally into mainstream fiction. Had it not been for the incredible creativity and imagination of these authors, I may never have become the lover of literature I am today.

Re: Grimms Fairy Tales
Does anyone remember when PBS used to show Brothers' Grimm stories on Saturday afternoons? How grim and gothic they were, but how LOVELY!

Re: Grimms Fairy Tales
I'll take "The Fisherman and His Wife." Love that one, where the fisherman pulls up a magic fish that grants a wish to the poor man, temporarily overjoying his wife. But there's the rub...she thinks about their good fortune and wants more and more. A classic upping-the-ante story.

Re: Grimms Fairy Tales
Do you guys realize they are debuting a television show called Grimm next week? I saw the preview on Hulu, and it's an interesting spinoff.

Re: Grimms Fairy Tales
True, and on a deeper level I think it asks the question, What is happiness? Is it getting everything you want? Apparently not as it would only make you ask for more.DWill wrote:I'll take "The Fisherman and His Wife."
