The beloved, bestselling A Tale Dark & Grimm series is now available as a box set for the very first time! And don't miss the Netflix Animated Series of A Tale Dark & Grimm! "A wonderful sense of humor and narrative voice. Having not read the original Grimm tales but familiar with the sanitised modern fairy tales it was really interesting to delve back to the original plot lines and learn the much greater and complex stories of Hansel and Gretel, that also combined elements of other fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood.Ī Tale Dark and Grimm, despite what the title might suggest, is a really entertaining, at times humorous and engaging journey through the many ordeals faced by brother and sister Hansel and Gretel, which ultimately, as in all good fairy, tales ends happily.A Tale Dark & Grimm: Complete Trilogy Box Set (Paperback, Contains 3 paperbacks) The tales themselves are full of action, twists, and turns.
And the forewarnings, I feel would, rather than discourage kids only challenge them to read further! Overall, the narrator’s voice adds a very personal touch to the book, as if the author has taken the reader into their confidence. The commentary is entertaining, highlighting the absurdity of situations, but also acts as a temper for intensity quickly transporting readers back to reality. The narrator’s voice is strong throughout the story, commenting on characters and events, and often pre-warning of violence to come. I haven’t watched the spinoff Netflix series, but I can easily imagine that it would translate well to an entertaining animated programme. So, despite the often violent and grisly events, kids are likely to read it as more awesome than gruesome. The first book in the Grimm series trilogy, A Tale Dark and Grimm, author Adam Gidwitz revives the original Grimm brother fairy tales in an irreverent and amusing manner.
