I read the original. Did not blow me away or anything. For such a short story, this took me forever to read! Reading something from the 1700s is very different from todays reads. Anyway I preferred reading more from the character's talking rather than a narrator.
Over the story isn't bad. It is the original but I did get weirded out towards the end when it had all this drama involved among the characters. Just so you know, one of the characters is very petty and it wore on me.
On the plus side, it was nice to read a fairytale and it be in its original form, no Disney influence at all. Finally the truth has come out for me!!!
I give this story a 3 out of 5.
