The Wild Girl is the tale of Dortchen Wild and her life growing up amid the turbulent time of Napolean. She falls for Wilhelm Grimm and we learn how the Grimm brothers really obtained their "fairy tales". It took me a little while to get into the book but once I did it was …more a quick and enjoyable read. I would recommend this book to someone who wanted to read a book that is almost like historical fiction. (less)
