How grim is Grimms?

[Cathy]

I read this book as a young child - my mother's copy. i was as much scared as I was enchanted. I particularly remember the girl who had to remain mute and knit stinging nettles to release her brothers who had been turned into birds.

I think they were a great tonic for creative imaginings!

I loved that story. Maybe it was because I thought it would be cool to have seven older brothers. :) Or maybe it was the fascination with silent heroines.
