The Grimm Variations
Once upon a time, brothers Jacob and Wilhelm collected fairy tales from across the land and made them into a book. But there’s more to the story. They also had a much younger sister, the innocent and curious Charlotte, whom they loved very much. One day, while the brothers were telling Charlotte a fairy tale as usual, they saw that she had a somewhat melancholic expression on her face. “Do you suppose they really lived happily ever after?” she asked.
