If the right-wing British press are clutching their pearls over revisions of #RoaldDahl’s work, just wait until they hear what #Disney have done to the #BrothersGrimm, #Perrault, etc.

I used to publish a podcast where, several times a week, I'd read one of the original Brothers Grimm stories as translated by renowned folk scholar Jack Zipes. My last episode was on April 9th, 2013.

Anyway, I wasn't hungry today so anyone still subscribed will find a surprise in their podcast player.

#BrothersGrimm #GrimmLunch

This is a very literal retelling of a #BrothersGrimm #FolkTale in #ShortStory form. I did it one day to break out of a rut of not writing very much earlier in the year.

It is one of the darker #Stories they wrote and I tried to retain that.

Can't remember the name of the original off the top of my head mine is just a bit wordier. I tried to make the atmosphere match the plot.

I present to the #WritingCommunity the story Betwixt and Between.

The Illustrated Brothers Grimm — part 1 (11m)
Documentary by Pete Beard.

Covers artists that illustrated the books over decades. Doré and Rakham stand out to me, more than the others. If only they had an overhead camera mount and filmed themselves drawing!

I think at this point, I need a way to mirror all of Pete Beards videos for offline viewing and archival.
