Ever since I was a child all snuggled up under the covers with my stuffed bear, I have either been read or pursued on my own the imaginative fairytales written by a host of authors over the centuries. The Grimm brothers are perhaps the best-known. Their tales are short and unique and without any barriers on creativity. I wonder if they were the first to make inanimate objects come to life? Young or old, there is much enjoyment to be had in these treasured Fairytales. ( )
