HeroicStories
Reviewed October 22, 1999 by Randy Cassingham, a reader from Boulder, Colorado, USA who is affiliated with the site. You always hear about the people who do wrong, hurt others, take advantage, rob and steal. But they are the minority. HeroicStories are about everyday real people who step up to the challenge and help others when they’re needed. It’s not just the people who save lives or stop a crime, but the stories are true, they’re from all over the world and, most of all, they’re interesting -- not sappy, syrupy-sweet (or religious) tales you roll your eyes over when your grandmother tells them. (They’re also short! No story is over 500 words.) You can sign up and get the stories sent free by e-mail.

Grimm’s Fairy Tales: From Folklore to Forever
"Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were German patriots of the early nineteenth century who set out to preserve their country’s folk tales. The stories were often cruel, but once the brothers saw how popular the tales were with young readers, they started making them softer and sweeter. National Geographic serves up a graphically-rich adventure into twelve ""unvarnished"" Grimm fairy tales, some of which include audio. Click on the treasure box for a biography, resource links, and a kid’s activity page."
