A Tale Dark and Grimm

Do you know the children, Hansel and Gretel? Do you know their whole story? If you think you aren't old enough for these Fractured Grimm fairy tales then stay away—they may be too gruesome for you. The narrator starts out with Once Upon a Time and we meet many characters in a variety of interesting stories. Hansel and Gretel take you through all the stories and despite the blood and poor parenting skills, you will occasionally crack up. This tale, very dark and very grim held my interest page after page. After reading this book you'll want to look up the Brothers Grimm and compare stories.
