Grimm Women and the End of Ever After

De: Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm, Cathi Colas - editor and introduction

Narrado por: Cathi Colas

In this bold reimagining of the classic Grimm’s fairy tales, five iconic heroines—Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Mother Holle, and The Goose Girl—are given the chance to reclaim their stories. While the original tales remain intact, each is followed by a sharp, witty essay from the perspective of the so-called villains.

From wicked stepmothers to jealous queens, these familiar antagonists finally get to speak for themselves—adding unexpected humor, insight, and a touch of irreverence to the timeless tales.

The collection opens with a thoughtful introduction exploring how beauty shapes our lives from the moment we're born, and closes with an afterword that challenges us to see fairy tale heroines—and ourselves—in a whole new light.

Grimm Women is a fresh take on beloved stories: humorous, thought-provoking, and surprisingly empowering.

Really well done!!

Really enjoyed this one, narrated well and I always enjoy the Grimm stories. Definitely worth listening to!

Great story with a lesson

Super cute retelling of fairy tales while also slightly focusing on the villains. Great moral at the end!

New Take on an Old Theme

This book offers a whole new perspective on the idea that beauty equals happiness. Essays from the villain's point of offer a new way to think through these old ideas. Overall, great narration, and a whole new way to view a very old theme.

Definitely worth a listen.

Grimm Brothers Fairly Tales Reimagined

Grimm Women and the End of Ever After by Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm, and editor Cathi Colas is an excellent Fairy Tales Reimagined fiction. Cathi Colas did an incredible job with the narration. The story is entertaining, interesting, exciting, funny, and more. What will happen when the Heroines gets to reclaim or rework their original story for themselves?
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. Highly recommend.
