We've all heard of the Brothers Grimm.  Their versions of the original tales are probably the most popular in Europe and America.  These are the ones that Disney used as a basis for their animated features.  Re-reading them, I was struck with how clean and happy their are.  I kept forgetting that these weren't the old stories, but a more family friendly version.  As such, I was a bit disappointed.  However, I still enjoy a nice fairy tale before bedtime.  For their longevity and appeal, I rate this collection 5 stars.
