![]() ![]() ![]() This book has a twist to it that the other books did not have. I love the original Grimms fairy tales and this book gives homage to, expands upon, and delves into both popular (Cinderella) and less known (The Juniper Tree) fairy tales. These books make me laugh so hard, yet they are so dark and gruesome at times. Gidwitz goes through the history and admits to any parts that are completed fabricated. In addition there is an afterword about the fairy tales and their origins. Along the journey the narrator makes sarcastic, hilarious, and witty remarks while always warning you when the tales are about to get particularly gruesome. The siblings destroy a kingdom and seek to fix it through this crazy tale. This book is no different and follows a sister/brother (Jorinda and Joringel) through fairy tales such as The Juniper Tree, Rumplestiltskin, and Cinderella. Very funny, very well done, and excellent fairy tale retelling with lots of sarcasm and humor.Įach of these books has followed a sister/brother pair as they stumble through horrible and funny fairy tales. I love this series and this book was the icing on the cake. Stand Alone or Series: 3rd book in A Tale Dark and Grimm ![]()
