Grimm Brothers and Matt Haig bring the truest and original form of folklore and fairy tales that most have heard during their childhood but in a different version altogether. The authors take you through an adventurous, magical, fun - loving and fantastical world. The stories are full of magical beasts, cunning children, dwarfs and giants and princesses and witches, teaching children valuable lessons on friendship, good and evil. Each story has a different message to give.

Grimms' Fairy Tales (Puffin Classics) brings Hansel and Grettel, the Frog Prince, Ashputtel, Old Sultan, Rumpelstiltskin, Cinderella, Golden Goose, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Riding Hood, the White Snake, the Six Servants, How Six Traveled Through the World, the Water of Life and more stories to the readers. The stories share a different version from what most have read in Cinderella, there is no fairy Godmother who helped her get ready but a bird who helped her get through. One disturbing incident which most have never heard is that Cinderella's step mother told her daughter to chop off Cinderella's toe.

The Six Servants and How Six Traveled Through the World talk about six servants and their extraordinary powers in the Water of Life, three sons set off on a quest for a magical elixir to save their father.

Every story is accompanied by a colourful illustration. The book is highly recommended for kids as it exposes them to an important and different body of literature. Grimms' Fairy Tales is suitable for children aged 8 - 12 years. The book is a treasure of entertainment for kids.
