The original vision of Grimms' tales in English for the first time
When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's and Household Tales in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, and Cinderella would become the most celebrated in the world. Yet few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the two early volumes, since in the next four decades the Grimms would publish six other editions, each extensively revised in content and style. For the very first time, The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm makes available in English all 156 stories from the 1812 and 1815 editions. These narrative gems, newly translated and brought together in one beautiful book, are accompanied by sumptuous new illustrations from award-winning artist Andrea Dezs . From The Frog King to The Golden Key, wondrous worlds unfold--heroes and heroines are rewarded, weaker animals triumph over the strong, and simple bumpkins prove themselves not so simple after all. Esteemed fairy tale scholar Jack Zipes offers accessible translations that retain the spare description and engaging storytelling style of the originals. Indeed, this is what makes the tales from the 1812 and 1815 editions unique--they reflect diverse voices, rooted in oral traditions, that are absent from the Grimms' later, more embellished collections of tales. Zipes's introduction gives important historical context, and the book includes the Grimms' prefaces and notes. A delight to read, The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm presents these peerless stories to a whole new generation of readers.-- "Reading the End"Binding Type: Hardcover

Holy Grail
Color: White, Size: King
Holy Moly!!!! Ummm where do I begin?? Let’s start with how soft and delicious these sheets are right out of the package. I literally had 2 day old sheets on my bed and I couldn’t wait to wash these sheets and put them on my bed. I’m normally a percale sheet lover but even 2 years in, they are too stiff for me. I have other Bedsure products so I decided to buy these bamboo sheets and I’m so happy I did. The quality is unmatched, they are cooling, soft and very very comfortable to sleep on. They fit my mattress amazingly, even with a mattress topper and protector on it. They do take a long time to dry on low, per the instructions, but chat GPT assured me that it’s actually a good thing because the materials are high quality when they take awhile to dry on low. The last 10 mins, I did bump the heat up to medium and watched closely and took them out immediately and there were zero wrinkles. Chat GPT also said no fabric softeners or dryer sheets to preserve the fabric with no pilling and to keep the cooling effect that the bamboo offers so keep that in mind. I’m obsessed with every single product this company makes and these sheets are no different!!! The price is amazing for the quality too!!

Best sheets
Color: White, Size: Queen
I have bought, like many, at least 2 sheet sets per year, either because of substandard quality or by not meeting "Cooling" promises. I learned along time ago that "You get what you pay for" especially with sheets. All the Ross, Marshalls and Burlington sets that look to be great deals because they have to be,? they're at discounters and sure to be half of what they normally sell for, right?? I took a chance when I noticed these for $139 (Queen, 1 year ago). I had a set of the Maloufs Rayon from Bamboo queen sheets that I adored, $159, but after just a dozen or so washings they literally got holes in them. I trim my toe nails so that I don't punture the sheets, had to learn that the hard way. Malouf said that my top loading wash machine was adding to the issue!!! I don't walk around with any holes in my wardrobe and I wash everything in the same unit. Any way, I took that chance and these are the BEST sheets I have ever purchased, period. I ended up with a hole in one set and Bedsure provided me a hefty discount/refund on my next set. These are very smooth so if you are sensitive to the feel of certain materials, you will be very happy. They don't have that cheap Microfiber Sheen that you get with other sets in this price range. They keep me very cool, and I'm a true hot body. Buy these and I assure you that, for the money, I don't believe there exists anything better... Enjoy

Good quality sheets
Color: White, Size: King
Really lovely sheets! Just the right thickness, not scratchy and fit our deep mattress. Have washed these a few times now and they get softer. No pilling thus far. Great buy!

Wrinkle easy
Color: White, Size: Queen
These are so comfy and cooling I love it. Such a luxurious feel. But they wrinkle so bad. I think it’s the rayon, but that’s what makes it so comfortable. If you’re willing to iron sheets or are ok with the wrinkles these are perfect!

Cool to the touch
Color: Sage Green, Size: King
These sheets are nice but in my opinion they aren’t worth more than $100. Side note, finding goose down inserts are challenging to find in the 20x40 pillow case they provide. So keep that in mind. The goose down pillow size I’m most commonly seeing for a king size bed are usually 18x36. That is more my fault for not double checking. They do feel cool to the touch which I do appreciate.
