Simply put, this book is fantastic. Great for veteran lovers of fairy tales, and also children who may not know the very old classics. The great thing about this book is that you do not have to be familiar with the original Grimm fairytales in order to enjoy this book, but if you are so much the better. The narrator is funny and fabulous. His sarcastic humour was something I really enjoyed, and wished more books had. It also helped give a lighter moment or two in what can be quite a gruesome story. That being said, this book will not give (most) children nightmares. It is ghastly and gruesome enough to keep it interesting and page turning, not enough to be truly terrifying. Can't wait to read the next one.
