Summary: Finally, fairy tales that aren't grim
Review: This has become my favorite volume of fairy tales ever produced! While the Brothers Grimm, Ellen Datlow and even Disney have all made gallant attempts at telling these classic morality stories, no one can hold a candle to James Finn Garner's brilliant masterpiece. The fairytales presented in this volume include Little Red Riding Hood, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Three Little Pigs, Rumplestiltskin, The Three Codependent Goats Gruff, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Goldilocks, Snow White, Chicken Little, The Frog Prince, Jack and the Beanstalk, and the Pied Piper of Hamlin. While all the stories are wonderful, Cinderella and the Frog Prince stand out and are my favorites. Read these two first! While these stories are great if you just curl up and read them by yourself, they're even better when read aloud with a big group of your friends! But whatever you do, don't read these right before bedtime as the title suggests. You'll be laughing to hard to ever get to sleep. These stories are suitable for children, but even more fun for adults. This book gets my highest recommendations.
