Murder, kidnapping, harsh punishments, & lethal vengeance--not the typical bedtime tales. Grimm's Grimmest, now with a new cover, shows 19 untamed stories as the Brothers Grimm collected them in 1822--all detailed in illustrations. Narratives recall risk of roasting & worse for misbehaving. An introduction sheds insight on how the Grimms made the leap from macabre to the mainstream. Unearth the true horror of Aschenputtel (the real Cinderella) & Rapunzel's hidden darkness--stories from the time fairy tales never had a happy ending.
