Storybook Favorites: Three Enjoyable Stories with a Message

This was a difficult task to choose three stories, and while I thought that one entire post was the story, I still managed to narrow it down to three stories.

The first caught my eye because in the title An Unexpected Visitor: The Brothers Grimm there was The Brothers Grimm, and how could I ignore that? I have always enjoyed the stories from that book. So with the title I already assumed that I would be interested, and I was not wrong. The introduction gave a great background story while also engaging my mind into the story about to be told. The rhetorical questions made me want to find out what was next. The story itself mixed the fairytale of Little Red Riding hood and the story from the Brothers, The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids. The twist of the end was intriguing and painted a clear picture in my head.

The second story was by far my favorite. I am kind of a big Supernatural fan so when I saw that aspect I had to read. I apologize for having two stories with Grimm stories but I also enjoy those stories. The story introduction of When Brothers Cross Paths was great at catching my attention and making me want to read more. Though the details were great in the beginning I was a little disappointed by the lack of detail towards the end of the intro, it just seemed to stop too abrupt. I read all 4 stories in there because they were so interesting and detailed, the narrative of Sam and Dean was read in their voices in my head. The picture of all the hunting places were seen like I was watching it on a screen. They were really good, and my favorite one was Fight the Good Fight. This told a point of view where Azezel, the yellow-eyed demon, was killed by the brothers of Grimm. I would recommend checking this one out.

Lastly a story that most can relate to which involves Gaia, a conscious of Earth, and mixes the story of Raksha finding Mowgli. The intro to Children of the Wild was very informational on what the story was going to be like. I found that it would be told from the narratives of the animals and their thoughts on what would be on saving the human race rather than letting them die. From the title I was not able to infer what would happen so the intro was important. The story itself was about how the child grew up to be and in Mowglis case, he grew up to a graceful nature inside the animal kingdom as well as outside it in the world of the humans. Gaia in the end decided that it was best not to let the humans die because while some grew up to be terrible others grew up to influence the world in greater ways. 

The Children of the Wild can be found by clicking on the title. 

While there are many more stories that interested me I think these are the best ones to recommend and to share.
