Naw Esther | 2 comments I read this book back in 7th grade so this was around 2018-19? I think it was a children’s illustration book. There were many different stories with all different art styles. I’m not sure if it was all written by one author or multiple. One tale I remember reading was about two brothers. The older one was manly and strong. While the younger one was a coward and weak. In the town they lived in, the older one was well known and often praised. He had a girlfriend too I think. She had orange hair that were braided into pig tails. And I remember specifically her being described as “plump.” The two brothers had to go up a hill where they were to kill this beast that’d been terrorizing the town. The beast was like a wolf and the older brother managed to easily kill it while the younger brother cowered in fear. Then the younger brother decided to kill the older brother because he was jealous and so he did. There was a random hole in the ground that was really dark and deep. After killing the brother, he pushed the body in that hole. Then he took the dead wolf back to town. He told the town people that his older brother had died from the wolf’s attack. And then he was considered the towns hero and even took his brothers girl. But then later on, his older brother came back to town. This freaked the younger brother out because he was sure he had killed the brother. Once the older brother was back, he was once loved by the town again. Being wary of the older brother, the younger brother noticed that at night, he would often go out. The younger brother followed him one night and they came to this underground hole where the older brother was just standing. And that’s all I can remember for that tale. Another tale I remember reading was about this princess who married her lover and moved into his castle. I think she was lonely there. And at night, she often heard weeping/singing in the walls. And because of this, she couldn’t sleep. I don’t remember much of the details but the singing came from her lover’s past lover who was murdered. And when she saw the princess, she was angry and tried to kill her by choking her w the pearl necklace. The necklace broke and the princess ran away from the castle. The last tale I remember from the book was the last tale of the book. It was a story of this group of sisters who lived in a cabin in the snow. Their father had told them that he would go out hunting and if he didn’t come back, they were to go to their neighbor. After 3 days I think, his father didn’t come back. One by one, the sisters start disappearing leaving a note that they had gone to their neighbor. And that’s about all I can remember for the book. I’ve been looking for the book for years. It would be helpful if you guys can help🙏🏼
