I love the Grimm tales because each one feels like its own little world, with its own rules, magic, and surprises. Together they create a universe of human hopes, fears, and transformations that still speaks to us today.

What fascinates me just as much is how raw the Grimms were. They didn’t shy away from darkness or uncomfortable truths—and that honesty makes the stories powerful. Beneath the cruelty and strangeness is a mirror of who we are, and for me, that’s what makes telling them so meaningful.
