Awesome book! We loved this one! Includes: Bronze Ring, Yellow Dwarf, Little Red Riding Hood, etc. A great fairy tale book for grown-ups too! I never knew there were original fairy tales and that Disney changed them all for little ones! These don't all have good endings, but they all teach a lesson, more like real life!

This book is not for the faint of heart or small children. These are the old-time versions of the fairy tales. Example: Rumplestilskin becomes enraged and first drives one leg into the dirt, then becomes more enraged and grabs his other leg and rips himself in two. Example: The Little Red Riding Hood story ends with "... and this wicked wolf fell upon Little Red Riding Hood and ate her all up." There are only a few of the stories that have no such mayhem or frightening parts.
