#childrensclassicread2025

First time reading this fairy tale. I didn‘t get to Grimms original tale but I read these two, the tagged one the better of the two as it felt more in the spirit of a Grimms tale. I enjoyed the illustrations more in the non tagged book but the tale was very simplistic and more cutesy.

I've been cat-sitting for my son while he and his partner were visiting friends, and taking advantage of being in the city, I'm having breakfast at Gran T's in Ancoats.
I'm enjoying Gossip from the Forest, with its blend of nature writing & the author's riffs on fairy stories.
It's a two-bookmark-book: the red for the page I'm on, the black for the notes, in, If I do say so myself, an excellent example of #BookmarkMatching 🔖🔖😁

Next up... It has mixed reviews, which would probably have put me off buying it if I'd checked first, but I didn't so ...🤞

“ Rapunzel Rapunzel let down your hair.”

I would NOT use this book in the classroom because it‘s is violent and not a nice fairytale. There are other versions of the Rapunzel that would be better suited to a classroom setting, such as the Disney additions.

Since diving back into reading this year, Ive really discovered some classic fantasy books This one was pretty interesting and fun to read or well listen to.
