Great Fairy Tale Books For Adults

By Celia Hall


People often enjoy great fairy tale books for adults. Society should realize that people who are grown up enjoy a great story just like anyone else. Childhood is not the only time to enjoy these stories which can bring a smile upon anyone's face. These writings can also strike fear into a person's heart as well as make them learn valuable lessons.

The original stories presented more of a dark gloomy image that was very hard for young people to take. Hansel And Gretal, The Frog King, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella and Rumpelstiltskin were stories that had many people sleeping with the light on. In today's world these stories have been edited to satisfy the little ones who enjoy a happy bedtime story.

No matter how you slice it Rumpelstiltskin is a scary reading about a little troll who threatens a beautiful woman. People over eighteen enjoy this writing since it is very dark and has a menacing villain in it. This story involves attempted kidnapping and blackmail. This was also made into a horror movie in the 1990's.

The lead character is not much to look at but he is very persuasive. He also uses psychology on the young woman in order to get what he wants and this is something that many mature people can identify with. This story tells that nothing is free and no one does a favor without wanting something in return. It also sheds light on possible cannibalism since it is not clear as to why he wants the baby.

Anyone would think that Cinderella was a very pleasant story about a girl who finally met her prince charming. This is the way that Walt Disney wanted you to see the story when he first came out with the very classic movie which was made for children. Grown ups love this twisted story because it deals with attempted murder, child abuse and stolen property.

Cinderella faced physical and mental abuse that was handed out by her new family. Her stepmother was also a thief and possible murderer. Long before she was seen with the happy talking animals Cinderella was a deep character who lived a very horrible existence.

If you are someone over eighteen you will also enjoy the story about the murderous siblings known as Hansel And Gretel. These two stole an old woman's belongings and then murdered her in cold blood. Any grown up can see the very wicked humor in this story. There is also a child abandonment issue in these writings since the stepmother left the two in the woods.

In today's world fairy tale books for adults are also turned into x-rated movies. There is a certain girl who is very popular with the adult crowd when she entertains the seven dwarfs. These stories are fun to read and they challenge everyone in a very intense way. In the end there is nothing wrong with reading these stories since they are only fiction after all.
