title: Grimm's Other Tales: A New Selection
author: Jacob Grimm
description: These are actual selections of little-known stories from the brothers' vast collection, full of horrifying touches, such as a particular liver being eaten and vomited several times in the course of a tale. Nearly all the stories are solidly told, but they cannot be consumed in one or two sittings without tedium taking over. Instead, readers should sample these tales in small doses, lingering over the familiar motifs and unusual turns of plots. There are many small gems among other, rougher efforts, but all will be of interest to scholars or fans of the genre. Ages 8-12. <BR>Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.

  Their leader was rather closed-mouthed, especially about himself.
  
  
  "Who is chasing death? Finn?" The blond at Will's side cocked his head as he
  studied the Grimm with a knack for fire and fondness for firearms. "Or the
  baby Grimm?"
  
  
  "Is it hard to figure out, Rob?" Will murmured.
  
  
  Rob smirked in response.
  
  
  No. It wasn't hard, not for anybody with eyes. Finn fought like a hellion, but
  he fought like a hellion with a focus.
  
  
  The woman, though…
  
  
  "She doesn'
