A sumptuous treasury of original fairytales from the brothers
Grimm, introduced by award-winning author Cornelia Funke and with
full colour illustrations by artists Quentin Blake, Raymond Briggs,
Axel Scheffler, Oliver Jeffers, Helen Oxenbury and Emma Chichester
Clark celebrating the bicentenary of the first volume of Grimms'
original fairytales. From the land of fantastical castles, vast
lakes and deep forests, the Brothers Grimm collected a treasury of
enchanting folk and fairy stories full of giants and dwarfs,
witches and princesses, magical beasts and cunning children. From
classics such as 'The Frog Prince' and 'Hansel and Grettel' to the
delights of 'Ashputtel' - the original Cinderella - all hold a
timeless magic which has enthralled children for generations.
Illustrators Quentin Blake, Raymond Briggs, Axel Scheffler, Helen
Oxenbury, and Oliver Jeffers have each chosen their personal
favourite fairytale to illustrate, and their individual styles make
this a unique treasury for all the family to share. Contains over
50 original fairytales, collected and written by Jacob Ludwig Carol
Grimm (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Carl Grimm (1786-1859), universally
known as 'the brothers Grimm'. Born in the German state of Hesse,
their ambition was to collect traditional tales in order to
preserve Germany's heritage. They published two volumes in 1812 and
1814 which include some of the best-known fairy tales of all time,
such as 'Tom Thumb' and 'The Elves and the Shoemaker'. Grimms'
original fairytales - some dark and scary, others light and fun -
are the foundation of many favourite picture books today. This
beautiful treasury is published to celebrate the bicentenary of the
first volume of Grimms' original fairytales, and includes full page
colour plates by today's top children's book illustrators.
