I have an old edition that my father read to us at night before bed, prior to reading us The Hobbit and the trilogy. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~spok/grimmtmp/ is a poor version, but will give you an idea of what was considered good reading for children many years ago. I suggest you all read it. I would suggest reading the book, Grimm’s Fairy Tails.
