Mothers Grimm by Danielle Wood

In a fairytale, the only good mother is six feet under. All the others are bad news.

A fairytale mother will exchange her first born child for a handful of leafy greens. And if times get tough, she’ll walk her babes into the woods and leave them there.

But mothers of today do no such things? Do they?

In this collection of heartbreakingly honest stories, the mothers of the Brothers Grimm are brought – with wit, subversiveness and lyrical prose – into the here and now. Danielle Wood turns four fairytales on their heads and makes them exquisitely her own.

Mothers Grimm RRP: $27.99  

Available where all good books are sold in September 2014.

  • taking my son to kindy on the wrong day!


  • I feed BillyCat tinned fish. The same lovely tinned fish we eat. It works out cheaper for me as I only buy it when it is on special. Son, Davey told the lady next door we eat cat food same as BillyCat. I couldn’t wait to explain! Soooo embarrassing.


  • Went to drop my daughter at school and when we got there she said she couldn’t get out of the car because she had no shoes on!!


  • Mummy was supposed to buy some ready made popcorn for my birthday but decided to be a good mummy and home make it, she smoked out the whole party, good one mummy


  • When I had our first child, babies were kept in the nursery unless you chose rooming-in, but we had access at any time. I spent a blissful hour breastfeeding with my little one, until the nurse found me and revealed that I was feeding someone else’s baby!


  • Making a cup or pot of tea and forgetting the tea bag. A classic.


  • Birthday cakes I’ve made for my daughters 5 birthdays the 2 worst were dolly Varden cracking apart & a bee skep that looked like a big poo.


  • When my eldest son was about 8 weeks old, we had swaddled him for his afternoon nap. We later headed out to the drive-in movies. It was much colder at the drive-in, and using the boot as a change table we realised we had completely forgotten to dress him at all!


  • my mum is the man of the house


  • I cooled them and he still wouldn’t eat. Then we realised they were spicy Mexican sausages. OOPS!


  • Being so tired that when I am cuddling my baby and thinking she is my 3 year old. That is when I get her from cot instead of imagining I did it.


  • I have a 7 year gap between my 2nd and 3rd to be fair I’m out of baby mode. Family sets off for a 4 hr trip to Bendigo get there and realise I never packed the nappy bag. No nappies, bottles, clothes blankets no pram ect. Quickest holiday we’ve ever had.


  • I left my newborn baby in the supermarket! I had just left hospital and picked up a few items…and left her there in the capsule next to the jam! I went back and got her!


  • I had bought some sausages for breakfast. I cooked them up as usual and served them to master 4 and he kept complaining they were hot and wouldn’t eat them. I cooled them and he still wouldn’t eat. Then we realised they were spicy Mexican sausages. OOPS!


  • I was showering with my daughter in the shower cubicle after a swim at our neighbourhood aquatic centre when she suddenly exclaims in an overly loud and enthusiastic discovery of the century voice ‘Mummy you have such curly hair in your down there!’. It was mighty embarrassing exiting the cubicle to a full shower room after that!
