I've finished reading The Ladies of Grace Adieu by Susanna Clarke. I liked it... but it wasn't the best dark fairy tale book i have ever read. One of her stories very much reminded me of Grimm's fairy tale Rumpelstiltskin. I used to have two LP's with Grimm's fairy tales and as a todler I loved to sit for hours on a Sunday with big headphones on my head listening to Little Red Ridinghood, The Frog King, Mother Hulda, Rapuntzel, The Woolf & The Seven Young Kids, Hans in Luck, Sleeping Beauty, etc. I also had a very big and heavy book with all their other stories but...
I have to admit that once I was able to read I prefered my other fairy tales much better. My absolute favourite was Princess Fantagiro.
