Complete Fairy Tales Review

Dedicated to Once Upon a Time Homecoming week (10/20-26/2013).

        Since homecoming week is coming, let's check this thing out. Fairy tales is not just about Disney versions that's suitable for little kids, but it's all about Grimm's and Andersen's Complete Fairy Tales that is completely PG-13 rated and suitable for teens who were very interested in literature. The double feature came from Barnes and Noble, in which I bought it on May 18, 2012. Did you know that a phoenix hatches from the egg since the beginning of time and flies over the world every century, and that every century a phoenix reincarnates? That's in The Phoenix Bird from Andersen. Did you know that a prince calls out, saying "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your golden hair!", so that he climbs up a golden stair? That's in Rapunzel from the Grimm Brothers. Oh, how I do love fairy tales. And over the past summer, I started the Fall River edition of Arabian Nights. It's about the emperor who hear stories from Scheherazade throughout most of the entire time. It's an end-of-year gift from Mom. Did you know that Jack gets the good ol' possessions from the giants' castle on a cloud? He climbed from a beanstalk in which the magic beans grew. Also did you know about the German name of Cinderella? It's Achenputel! It's really a good story, but very long with 387 chapters overall plus hidden bonuses such as Beauty and the Beast.
        Did you know it all starts with The Frog Prince in this version and it ends with The Flea and the Professor? That's very perfect and still well-done for older middle grade and YA. I was very glad and generous that I may have to carry on the legacy of fairy tales to my kids when they turn thirteen. It was very good indeed that it has cool effects and perfect intensity in the story. Did you know that not all stories have happy endings? For example: Romeo and Juliet, it's sad but a good classic and one of the world's most-renown plays of all time. If you're already old enough/mature enough for tragedies, go ahead and think new adventures as a good start for your own journey to the Ultimate Goal. Don't stop believing, because I'm dead serious right now. And seriously, you don't want to put the story down, because you will read this story all night long. One step at a time, every night.

TWO THUMBS UP!!! xD

Thank you and hope you'll have a fantastic week of Once Upon a Time.
