To reject this narrative because it could not be proven would be to throw away a gift. She had many burning questions. Why was central Asia, of all places, a source of culture? Why did so many people have pink skin? And what were those fish suits? The myths answered all her questions. And whether you accept their answers or not, the story they tell will fascinate you.

Grimms' Fairy Tales is a charming new edition of one of the best-known collections of children's stories of all times. Peter Carter brings a novelist's flair for narrative pace and vivid imagery to these familiar tales while remaining faithful to the spirit and tone of the original orally transmitted stories. The authentic rhythm of spoken English is captured in Carter's clear and resonant style. All the favorite characters are here--Cinderella, Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel and Gretel, Red Riding Hood--along with others less well-known in gripping tales such as The Singing Bone and The Carrion Crows. Haunting and powerful, sad and humorous, these stories remain as fresh and fascinating as the first day they were told.
