This book, A Triune Tale of Diminutive Swine (more commonly known as The Three Little Pigs). It’s the Shakespearean version of the well-known children’s tale, and it’s extremely funny. To see a comedic narration of it, click the photo. Please, for eight minutes of laughter, go. :)

“ It may be better for [children] to read some things, especially fairy-stories, that are beyond their measure rather than short of it. Their books like their clothes should allow for growth, and their books at any rate should encourage it. „

From Snowdrop and Other Tales, 1909, by the Grimm Brothers, Illustrated by Arthur Rackham.
From The White Snake:
He listened, and heard an Ant-King complain: ‘I wish these human beings and their animals would keep out of our way. A clumsy horse has just put his hoof down upon a number of my people in the most heartless way.’
He turned his horse into a side path, and the Ant-King cried: ‘We will remember and reward you.’
