![]() ![]() ![]() He may write for kids, but they aren't sweet, simple tales. But there are the chapters "A Smile As Red As Blood" and that is a whole 'nother tale!For me, it is in a style similar to Roald Dahl. No wonder they ran away! But running away did not make it any better, since they got tangled up in eight other scary tales!With chapter titles "The Seven Swallows," "Brother and Sister" you might think the book isn't too bad. ![]() Talk about a dysfunctional family! Starting out was no picnic with their parents. I wasn't disappointed.It takes the tale of Hansel and Gretel from birth to almost adulthood. It intrigued me with it's tongue-in-cheek humour and style of narration. This book I had picked up somewhere along the way. This is to be a middle grade book, but if you can't handle a bit of witches, warlocks, hunters and gore then it isn't for you.I was given the complete works of the Brothers Grimm for Christmas. ![]()
