Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Primary school students who have finished Volume One and wish to continue reading Grimms' Fairy Tales systematically
- Families and teachers who need volume-by-volume rotation for classroom book clubs or parent-child reading
- Readers who enjoy comparing similar stories and are interested in folklore motifs
- People who need short story material for read-aloud or storytelling practice
Not a good fit for
- Young readers who have not read Volume One and wish to start with introductory selections
- Readers who only want the most famous tales and are unwilling to commit to a series
- Readers expecting annotated, textual-scholarship, or academic editions
Reading tips
- Read Volume One before this middle volume and proceed in order to reduce confusion about characters and motifs.
- Pair stories in this volume with those of the same type in Volume One and compare plot differences.
- After each story, write in three sentences who the character is, what they encounter, and how it is resolved.
- Choose one story to adapt into a short play and have family members read and perform it by role.
