I strongly urge you to buy this book! I have read it twice already and enjoyed
it thoroughly both times (although some of the tales may seem to repeat each
other). The tales in this book are much more grim (pun intended) than many
of the Disney stories of the same names; for instance, at the end of
Cinderella, when she walks down the aisle with her prince, she has two doves
on her shoulders, each one pecks out the eyes of her evil step-sisters, one eye
on the way up the aisle and one on the way back...
