Be Advised - By: P. E. O'Connor, 10 Oct 2007 
After reading other customer reviews about this book I couldnt wait to have it to hand for I was running out of ideas for the childrens' bedtime story.When you open it up you find hundreds of stories to choose from but unfortunately as I started to read it I was constantly being interupted with questions of "what does 'hast thou' mean daddy ?" & "whats 'ran thither to entreat him' mean ?" & "whats 'hark thee'?".For the book is full of oldy worldy sayings. I found it quite useful to read ahead before reading it at bedtime. It saves lots of questions & time.
Grimm fairy tales review - By: J. Mckaig, 27 Mar 2005 
For the fan of fairy tales this book is a lovely addition to any collection. Although lengthy & perhaps not the best introduction to the works of the Grimm brothers, it is comprehensive. The stories are short enough to read aloud & the illustrations are simple & compliment the stories well.
I give this book four stars only because I would have liked more illustrations & would have liked the book to be more child friendly.

I knew some of Grimms fairy tales but had no idea they had written so many - & here they alll are! If you are hoping for the sanitised Disney version you'll be disappointed - these are the real stories & there's a whole HEAP of them. Don't just buy it for your kids - buy it for yourself, its Fabulous!
Fantastic - for old & young alike - By: , 08 Nov 2001 You don't have to be a child to enjoy this book - the stories are funny, interesting & relevent. The characters & situations they portray can be applied to everyday people & situations - thus the sign of great storytelling - these stories are timeless.
A great book to pick up for a quick read - some of the stories are only one page long.
Definitely a book to have your collection.
