The Book Club : Thu Dec 20, 2012 3:08 pm  
With the 200th anniversary today of the first publication of "Die Kinder und Hausmärchen (Children's and Household Tales)", folk stories collated and retold by The Grimm brothers, its perhaps opportune to re-open The Book Club thread and offer a link to a free eBook download of Grimm's Fairy Tales by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm via the Gutenberg Press, available in several formats possibly the best choice if reading from a PC would be the PDF version which includes the original illustrations.

If you're thinking of reading them to your children at bedtime then have a read through first as some of them are quite dark :D, being folk tales they weren't necessarily written for children in their original format.

The one that I wanted to be in there (but isn't) is the tale entitled "How Children Played Butcher With Each Other" in which a whole family butchers itself, shame its not there :lol:

Download the book from here :

Radio 4 have been presenting a series each day this week, looking at the Grimm "Fairy" Tales and yes, most of them were very red in blood & claw. Apparently all they did was collate, embellish and write down traditional folk tales, many of the used to scare children to be obedient.

Mind you, I'm sure I once spen a drunken night of debauchery with Rumpelstiltsken's ugly sister

I had an old book of Dutch childhood tales - Shock-headed Peter or something like that. Still haunts my dreams. It was graphically violent.

A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.

When you rescue a dog, you gain a heart for life.

Handle every situation like a dog. If you can't Eat it or Chew it. Pee on it and Walk Away.

Re: The Book Club : Tue Jan 08, 2013 1:03 pm  
My reading in the last few months has been pretty slow, but I'm currently about half way through Simplicissimus by Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen.

Originally published in 1668, it's been described as a sort of German Don Quixote, and tells the story of the eponymous simple character and his adventures during the Thirty Years War.

Translated by Mike Mitchell, it's raw, earthy, rabelaisian and really accessible. A really enjoyable read.

By way of solidarity with a friend who has to read it as part of something she's doing at university, I've agreed to read Ulysses.
