The Brothers Grimm Popular Folk Tales
Translated by Brian Alderson
It is about loads of fairy tales that you know such as Hansel and Gretel and others you don't know.
I liked it because I quite like fiction books abit like fairytales and I like books that have loads of different stories in it.
I would recommend this book to a seven or eight year old because it has some really difficult words in it.
