“We love the Grimm Tales, my favourite tale is Snow White because it is gruesome but also has a moral to the story. They make you realise that the Disney films are really innocent compared to the real stories!”– Laselle

“I think this book is great because we have been able to read lots of short stories and compare them. We have even used them in our writing!” – Maisy

“I think this book is great! I’ve really enjoyed Little Brother, Little Sister, The Brave Little Tailor and The mouse, the bird and the sausage. It has helped me with archaic language and I have even tried using it in my own writing. I think the gory bits are really good, I never knew fairy tales were not like the Disney films!” – Yafet
