Synopsis

The "Grimm's Fairy Tales - Complete Edition: 200+ Stories in One Volume" offers an extensive compendium of enchanting narratives that have shaped children's literature and folklore for centuries. The tales, originally compiled by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the early 19th century, reflect an intricate blend of moral lessons, folk traditions, and imaginative storytelling. Written in a straightforward yet evocative style, these stories are characterized by their simplicity and directness, allowing the profound themes of love, loss, and moral integrity to resonate with both children and adults. In their historical context, the tales serve as a critical bridge between the oral traditions of the Germanic peoples and the written literary canon of Europe, capturing the collective cultural identity of a transformative era. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, pioneering scholars and linguists, were driven by a passion to preserve the narratives of their heritage. Their work was deeply influenced by the rise of nationalism in Germany, and their desire to document folklore was rooted in a broader movement to celebrate German culture and values. The brothers meticulously collected these tales from various sources, ultimately solidifying their role as cultural historians and storytellers. Their attention to the nuances of oral tradition is evident in their rich and varied narrative style. This remarkable collection is not only essential reading for students of literature and history but also for anyone captivated by the power of storytelling. The complete edition invites readers to explore the fantastical realms crafted by the Grimms, making it a perfect companion for those who appreciate the enduring appeal of fairy tales.

Claudia Mills

Twelve-year-old Sonnet's family has just moved across the country to live with her grandfather after her nana dies. Gramps's once-impressive apple orchard has been razed for a housing development, with only one heirloom tree left. Sonnet doesn't want to think about how Gramps and his tree are both growing old—she just wants everything to be okay. 
 
 
 
Sonnet is not okay with her neighbor, Zeke, a boy her age who gets on her bad side when he tries to choose her grandpa to interview for an oral history assignment.

But when the interviews uncover a buried tragedy that concerns Sonnet's mother, and an emergency forces Sonnet and Zeke to cooperate again, Sonnet learns not just to accept Zeke as he is, but also that sometimes forgetting isn't the solution—even when remembering seems harder.

The Betrayal

Paul A. Lynch

The following story can be found in the bible in the Book of St. Matthew 26:47-75.  
In a land filled with sandstone hills and olive trees, there lived a group of friends who traveled together with their teacher, Jesus. Among them was a man named Judas, who had been with Jesus since the beginning of their journey. 
Judas was a good friend, always ready to help and lend a hand. He traveled with Jesus and the other disciples, listening to his teachings, and learning from his wisdom. But deep inside, Judas carried a secret—a secret that weighed heavily on his heart and clouded his mind. 
One evening, as Jesus and his friends gathered for their last supper together, Judas felt a sense of unease gnawing at him. Despite Jesus's words of love and friendship, Judas couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. 
As the meal ended, Jesus turned to his friends and spoke of betrayal. "One of you will betray me," he said, his voice soft but filled with sorrow.
