The Complete Grimms' Fairy Tales

Even as a kid disliked it.

James Mustich in 1,000 Books to Read Before You Die writes, “Except for the Bible, it's hard to imagine a book so rooted in our collective subconscious as the Grimms' Children's and Household Tales...” and I think that is true. It was the Grimms brothers who first collected and edited such stories as Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, and Rumplestiltskin. This is a collection everyone should read.
