What really happened when Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water? Well, yes, Jack did break his crown and, yes, Jill did come tumbling after. BUT, they also went on a quest to find a looking glass, which really turned out to be a quest to find themselves. They challenged giants to an eating competition, were drowned by mermaids and were captured by goblins. Did they ever find the looking glass? Well, you'll just have to read this book and find out. Straight into the New York Times Top 10 - alongside A Tale Dark and Grimm! A brilliant combination of thoughtful, literary, gory and laugh-out-loud funny. 'This second foray is even more enjoyable than the author’s acclaimed debut' Publishers Weekly The Grimm fairy tales are celebrating their 200th anniversary this year and the continued interest in them is more apparant than ever.

Very nice it starts out scary but ends with a happy ending :the main characters Jack, Jill and Frog live alone but have lots of friends at the end.

SPOOKY! If you enjoy fairytales with lovey-dovey happily ever after endings and lots of kissing, this is not (I repeat NOT the book for you!) If you like gore, blood and grim endings, read this book, you'll love it!

This is the 2nd book of the Grimm series and I would NOT recommend this to the faint-hearted.
