Grimm and Grimmer: Classic Fairy Tales Rebooted

This collection of fourteen reimagined Grimm’s fairy tales from award-winning author Mark Russell offers a biting new perspective while proving the classics never go out of style.

In the two hundred years since Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm first published their collection of fairy tales, things haven’t gotten any less-ahem-grim. So tuck yourself in with some of the classic bedtime stories, retold by award-winning author Mark Russell.

Grimm and Grimmer offers fourteen of the Brothers Grimm’s finest stories-a mix of well-known tales including «Rapunzel» and «Cinderella,» and ones you might not know, like «The Boy Who Didn’t Know Fear»-reconceived for a twenty-first century while staying true to their roots.

At times both laugh-out-loud funny and darker than a wicked stepmother’s heart, this captivating collection captures all the absurdities and anxieties of the world just outside our windows.
