The work of the Brothers Grimm have gained worldwide renown as the inspiration behind many modern classics in cinematic history, most notably, Walt Disney's children's' films. This is a collection of the original tales, of well-known works such as "Cinderella" ("Aschenputtel") , "The Frog Prince" ("Der Froschkönig") and "Sleeping Beauty" ("Dornröschen") and lesser-known ones, like "The Fisherman and His Wife" ("Von dem Fischer und seiner Frau"), "The Singing Bone" ("Der singende Knochen"), and "The Wedding of Mrs. Fox" ("Die Hochzeit der Frau Füchsin"), all of which are lovely tales that I hope you'll enjoy! :)

The blood trickled down my arm. I hissed at the pain from the cut in my wrist. Who knew they could be so sensitive? I sure as hell didn’t. But nevertheless, it almost felt good. The pain was so distracting; I couldn’t seem to concentrate on anything else. Like the fact my mom died. Or that my dad was abusive. Or that my grades were slipping. Or that I lost all my friends. None of that mattered. I got out of the tub and wrapped a towel around my wrist, concentrating on the pain that the pressure brought. I stumbled into my room and collapsed onto my bed, already a little lightheaded from the blood loss. Soon, the world around me faded and I slipped into a deep sleep. Ava Hunter is living a life that no one wants. A life in which no knows her pain and worse, no one cares. But what happens when a brown-eyed boy discovers everything? What happens when suddenly, someone cares?
