Books being read to our daughter

The Sisters Grimm Series


A great series about Daphne and Sabrina Grimm, the great great .... grandaughters of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, the authors of the great Grimm's Fairy Tales. They come to live with their previously unknown grandmother in Ferryport Landing, a place where fairy tale characters, known as Everafters, are very much alive and real and trapped within the town by an enchantment that will not break until the last Grimm is dead. Cue mayhem, mysteries and a great deal of fun, and one of our favourite characters of all time, the fairy boy Puck, the self proclaimed trickster king. The hardbacks of each edition are beautiful, lovely illustrations, torn edges to the pages, looking like a great Grimm's edition
