Over the years fairy tales have changed with the new age of technology. Once being told orally these favourite fairy tales were often dark and gory. Toes were cut off, people were eaten, poisoned, and killed, these stories have become something almost unrecognisable that the stories spoken two hundred years ago.

Thanks to the inventions of moving pictures and the rapid increase of a more modest religion these stories were drastically changed for the twentieth century.  The problem is now no one remembers the real stories of their beloved characters, they don’t know the true horrors the evil stepsisters in Cinderella were put through, and they don’t know what happened to the evil queen in Snow White.

Real Grimm tales is a project designed to bring back the original dark stories with images that seem light and fluffy to distract from the horrors inside. The stories of the past have been unearthed from history and brought into the twenty-first century and put into a book of four stories ready for any reader to enjoy.
