e44e635bdc Reading Pullmans version it is impossible not to hear Pullmans own gentle voice; he is present on every pageBeautiful or grotesque, the mad poetry of these tales is often delightfully funny tooWhat I loved about how the author pulled these all together was he references each story with notes of the differences between some of the retellings as well as notes on his ownHe lives in Oxford, EnglandFrom his lengthy introduction which is an enjoyable read in itself, to his commentary on each and every tale he chose to include in his collectionAll of his gifts, including his prose eloquence, and his endless high Romantic imagination, are manifested in this marvelous retelling of Grimm
