Once upon a time, fairy tales were grim.
Cinderella’s stepsisters got their eyes pecked out by birds.
Rumpelstiltskin ripped himself in half.
And in a tale called “The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage,” a mouse, a bird, and a sausage all talk to each other. Yes, the sausage talks. (Okay, I guess that one’s not that grim…)
Those are the real fairy tales.
But they have nothing on the story I’m about to tell.
This is the darkest fairy tale of all. Also, it is the weirdest. And the bloodiest.
It is the grimmest tale I have ever heard.
And I am sharing it with you.
Two children venture through forests, flee kingdoms, face ogres and demons and monsters, and, ultimately, find their way home. Oh yes, and they may die. Just once or twice.
That’s right. Fairy tales

Awesome.

this book is scary and a good book
this book is scary but cool to
This book was great! Like all of them say, Joringel (Your-ingel) makes the devil cry! Eventually, kids end up building a fortress and battling the adults! Joringel and Jorinda (Your-inda) even meet the author of the book! This book also has tons of references to the 1st and 2nd book. But be warned: This book is not for 5 year olds. This fairy tale is dark and gory. There's a lot of blood in this book, and little kids will probably have nightmares. With that said, check this book out!
good like the first one
