A CHANGE IS AS GOOD AS A REST

 

THE BROTHERS GRIMM MYSTERIES 


A light book to read is as good as meditation.   Especially in times of stress, we can take a step out of reality and walk into the world of fantasy.  

 

Paula Brackston (The Witches Daughter) has published a new series, The Brothers Grimm Mysteries, under the name of P. J. Brackston.

  

Hansel and Gretel, now grown and middle aged, are famous for having survived the witch’s house as children.   Gretel has become one of Bavaria’s most famous private investigators.

 

If, as a child, you were raised with Grimm’s Fairy Tales, you will relish the continuing story of Hansel and Gretel.

 

Brackston’s web site list the books out of order. Actually, the first book of the series is Once Upon A Crime.





 

I feel sorry for the majority of children, now days raised on Sponge Bob SquarPants, computers and Face Book.    I was raised at a time before television, when parent’s read to their children – and children read books.

  2. Read one a few years ago -- Gretel and the Frog Prints. IIRC, it was light-hearted fluff, mind candy, just the type of thing we can all use occasionally. It was the only one by that author at the library so haven't read any others in the series.
