That sentence sounds pretty good until I tell you we were delayed all day. What was supposed to be a relaxing flight turned out to be cancellations, wait list, and weather conditions you can easily compare to Antarctica.
Luckily my mom was in the Christmas spirit and was willing to fork over $30 to buy me a hard cover copy of Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm. I got through about 3/4 of the novel done in the airport and on the plane until reaching California. Unfortunately I left the novel at my aunt's house and was forced to wait a demeaning 9 months for them to finish up reading the 400 page story book to their toddlers. I wouldn't blame them it's an excellent novel. The book shipped back Saturday and I finished through to the end.
There are many fairy tales I had never even heard of until picking up the book such as The Twelve Brothers, The Three Snake Leaves, and Bearskin.
It was a good read, I highly suggest it! I always find it amazing how old fairytales and stories are past down from generation to generation. It was a nostalgic experience to read traditional stories my parents and superiors read to me when I was little! I assure you each story is as interesting as the last one.
You can read many variations of them here: http://www.grimmstories.com/en/grimm_fairy-tales/index
Since I just read popular books all the time, I think it'll be a good change to read a book full of short fairy tales. And this book actually sounds interesting unlike other fairy tales I've read. Thanks for the suggestion!
