I have the complete set of the Grimm Fairy-Tales, and there are so many that I haven’t read! They are very short, as one would know, so I have decided to read each one and give them a review. Some are very vulgar, some are very cute and some don’t even make sense. Some of them are well known fairy-tales and some have never been told. Some are fairy-tales we know but are not the same because they have been downplayed for the children. The king as a beautiful but spoiled daughter. Not a surprise. He sees that she is spoiled after she makes fun of all the princes that come and want her hand in marriage. So he marries her to a beggar. WHAT. So anyway, sorry for my mental breakdown, he begins to humble her spirit. After many unfortunate events, she becomes a cook at the palace. When her older brother is getting married, she makes a big mess of things and is made fun of! So, will she get her happily ever after with the beggar? IDK READ THE BOOK.
