β¦ Synopsis
Once upon a time, fairy tales were grim.
Cinderellaβs stepsisters got their eyes pecked out by birds.
Rumpelstiltskin ripped himself in half.
And in a tale called βThe Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage,β a mouse, a bird, and a sausage all talk to each other. Yes, the sausage talks. (Okay, I guess that oneβs not that grimβ¦)
Those are the real fairy tales.
But they have nothing on the story Iβm about to tell.
This is the darkest fairy tale of all. Also, it is the weirdest. And the bloodiest.
It is the grimmest tale I have ever heard.
And I am sharing it with you.
Two children venture through forests, flee kingdoms, face ogres and demons and monsters, and, ultimately, find their way home. Oh yes, and they may die. Just once or twice.
Thatβs right. Fairy tales
Are
Awesome.
