It's just a compilation of a bunch of versions of fairy tales and was a pretty cool book. It had some really dark versions of Red Riding Hood...Scooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15261702562515369934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361272511134966548.post-83592038784771194292010-12-15T02:14:00.598-07:002010-12-15T02:14:00.598-07:00Ooh.

I took a fairy tale class my last semester at UNC, and we studied a lot of different versions of all the fairy tales. Grimm was always my least favorite... they focus on nature and magic a very different way than I expected. Plus, I always heard that they painted the most cynical and dark picture of fairy tales, and that's just not true. There are darker, better versions :)Scooterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15261702562515369934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361272511134966548.post-65664366761649942142010-11-25T23:51:55.545-07:002010-11-25T23:51:55.545-07:00Ah, yes.

I'm on the second book right now (Before They Are Hanged). Really fascinating characters in this series. There aren't any really clear-cut heroes or villains, just a lot of imperfect people at odds with each other.Berserkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730777264911609883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361272511134966548.post-34135327337086593952010-11-22T00:10:48.852-07:002010-11-22T00:10:48.852-07:00What's that one about?What's that one about?Samarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09748015099800847012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361272511134966548.post-10294917975099307102010-11-20T19:31:09.533-07:002010-11-20T19:31:09.533-07:00I've got a book of them, but I haven't got...I've got a book of them, but I haven't gotten around to reading them yet.
