This was my first reading of Kate Forsyth's work, but it will not be my last. The Wild Girl wove together history, fairy tales, and day to day scenarios of German life during Napoleon's rise and fall. To say that it was interesting belittles the scope that Ms. Forsyth achieved. She may have taken liberties with facts, and yes, some of this was difficult to read, but over all, this was a fascinating read. I will re-read my Grimm's with new eyes!
