Household Tales by Brothers Grimm

So, I read all the fairy tales when I was a kid and I seriously don't remember them being this “grim” (pardon the pun).

Of course, the children versions of these are much more tame and a lot of the gory details are left out, of course.

It's still very cool to read the “original” versions as an adult and really get a sense for these folk tales!

But if you're the kind of person that get upset at the amount of people George R.R. Martin kills off in his books, then don't read these!

I'll leave you with the example of the “The Death of the Little Hen” which end with: “...and then everyone was dead.”
