Chatting Books Online Day 91. As many of you know I love a pretty book. I mean it still has to also be a good book , but bonus points are given if the book is also beautiful and even more if it feels nice to hold - and yes, I have been known to encourage people to "pet" a book or two in the shop . That said, today's recommended book checks all the boxes, it is The Essential Grimm's Fairy Tales by the Brothers Grimm. With more than 59 fairy tales including not only the ones you think of right away like Rapunzel, Hansel and Grethel and Cinderella but also some you will remember hearing once you read them like The Elves (includes the Shoemaker and the Elves and 2 other Elven stories) and the Wedding of Mrs. Fox, but it also includes some you may have never read before like The Fox and the Horse (which I had to read because I love "The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse" by Charlie Mackesy so much and I wondered if they were related - they are not at all similar - but both are beautifully illustrated). And there are so many more, some you will know and many you will not but will now know them going forward.
