The Annotated Brothers Grimm Bicentennial Edition Edited by Maria Tatar Fairytales I’m loving it. I’m heading to Efteling later in the year and want to remind myself of all the stories

Highly recommended

I read a bunch of the Brother's Grimm fairy tales with my son when he was younger, but I didn't know there was an annotated version. Are the annotations 'inline' or is there a glossary of some sort? I'm just wondering if it translates well to a kindle.

I wouldn’t fancy this version on kindle, not sure how it would work. The main stories are footnoted with the comments to the left and right of the text. I’m away for the next week but I’ll take a few pics when I’m back and share em!
