Editorial Review:
For almost two centuries, the stories of magic and myth gathered by the Brothers Grimm have been part of the way children—and adults—learn about the vagaries of the real world. Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow-White, Hänsel and Gretel, Little Red-Cap (a.k.a. Little Red Riding Hood), and Briar-Rose (a.k.a. Sleeping Beauty) are only a few of more than 200 enchanting characters included here. Lyrically translated and beautifully illustrated, the tales are presented just as Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm originally set them down: bold, primal, just frightening enough, and endlessly engaging.

The book still serves its purpose, the tales are as wonderful and magical ... Read More

The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales by The Grimm Brothers
The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales is a great book. The fairy tales are quite like the modern versions you read today although they don't seem as fictional. I really enjoyed reading the original version of Hansal and Gretel. For those of you who haven't read it (which probably isn't a lot!) is about two poor children who's mother wants to get rid of them so she can eat more and not have to worry about them. The father doesn't agree and tries ... Read More
