It was published in 1812 and often referred to as Grimm's Fairy Tales. This book contains many of the fairy tales we have come to know and love, like "Little Red Riding Hood" and "Snow White" The original versions of fairy tales can be gruesome, so they are often rewritten and toned down to appeal to the masses.

She actually strikes back against the wolf Fairy tales are well-liked by famous authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien, Terry Pratchett and C.S. Lewis. Charles Dickens also said that fairy tales helped to keep him ever young We sell quality items at reasonable prices!
