Brothers Grimm
Complete Fairy Tales
An entertaining and interesting collection of folk tales. Lots of recurring themes and some fairly gruesome endings for people - the standard punishment for malevolent behaviour seemingly to be put in a barrel with nails hammered into it and rolled down a hill. A very interesting commentary on the tales is at the back which is a shame as would have been even more interesting if read before the tales to put them in context.
