I've just read the stories by the Brothers Grimm.  Although I've heard the stories before I have never read the originals.  They were much darker than how they are newly written but still very enjoyable.  I think Ms. Moses chose the perfect timing to assign these readings to us because Halloween is coming up very soon and these seem fitting to the holiday.  Halloween and these stories are based on characters and they make me even more excited to dress up.  These stories also give me good insight on how people used to be in the past.  They found it acceptable for childrens tales to include the eating of organs, taking babies, abandoning children, and cutting open wolves!  I can respect the way culture used to be but I'm sure I will never allow my children to read such things.
