aPriL does feral sometimes 's Reviews > The Brothers Grimm: Illuminated Fairy Tales, Vol. 1

I haven't read 'Grimm's Fairy Tales' in years! This ebook, 'The Brothers Grimm' is an Amazon "Kindle in Motion" version offered for a free loan if you have a Prime reading membership. The book only has seven of the 200 Grimm’s fairy tales. However, the stories which were included oddly reminded me of watching TikTok videos in that they suggest the same cultural values...

-Briar Rose
-Hansel and Gretel
-The Juniper Tree
-The Frog Prince
-Cinderella
-The White Snake
-Rapunzel

They are beautifully illustrated, with slight motion added to some elements that are fun to see.

I have copied the cover blurb below:

From “Rapunzel” to “Hansel and Gretel,” Grimm’s Fairy Tales have enchanted readers for generations. This dramatic Kindle in Motion edition presents seven classic stories—each restored to its original version and reimagined with modern digital illustrations.
Each tale is lovingly portrayed by a different artist: Kali Ciesemier’s vibrant colors animate the thorny path of “Briar Rose.” The sinister course of “Hansel and Gretel” takes a twist in the candy hues of Peter Diamond. Daniel Krall’s richly detailed line work shines amid the wickedly dark “The Juniper-Tree.” Nicolas Rix’s charming storybook style delights in “The Frog-Prince or Iron Henry.” Ashley Mackenzie’s golden tones light up the ball in “Cinderella.” Horses, ducks, and birds turn macabre in Wesley Allsbrook’s wildly gestural portrayal of “The White Snake.” And Rapunzel lets down her hair in Rovina Cai’s hauntingly beautiful drawings.
Experience the iconic classics you know and love, lavishly illustrated to breathe new life into age-old tales.

The moral of these tales is:
If you are a beautiful girl and tricky, you will win a Prince and a 💍.
If you rescue 🐴🦆🕊, they will rescue you.
Eat a 🐍 and become a translator of many languages.
Kiss a 🐸 and maybe a forced marriage will work out.
Bury murdered 🧍 under a 🌳 and don't worry, be happy.
Girls with long hair in towers should consider using a🪜.
Fathers are dimwits and 🐈whipped.
Witches shouldn't invite 👫🏼in for dinner. It could be ⚰️.
If you don't invite 🧚‍♀️🧚🏻🧚‍♂️ to your party, they can get really mean.

But the number one lesson:
Stepmothers are 💩.
