From Snow White to Cinderella, Rapunzel to Rumpelstiltskin, the
Brothers Grimm bequeathed a canon of stories which have become
literary and childhood classics. The most widely read story
collection after the Bible, their magical tales are stalwarts of
early learning and imagination, listed in UNESCO's Memory of the
World Register as a vital part of our history and culture. This
beautiful hardback anthology is based on the Grimm's popular 1857
edition and features 27 of their best-loved stories in a vibrant
and meticulous new translation commissioned for this publication.
The tales are accompanied by exquisite vintage illustrations from
the past 200 years, including masterpieces from the legendary Kay
Nielsen, British artists Walter Crane and Arthur Rackham, and
giants of 19th-century German illustration Gustav Sus, Heinrich
Leutemann, and Viktor Paul Mohn. Additional historic and
contemporary silhouettes dance across the pages like delicate black
paper lace. In addition to the tales and illustrations, the book
contains a foreword on the Grimms' legacy, brief introductions to
each fairy tale, and extended artists' biographies in the appendix.
For adults and children alike, this precious edition brings the
eternal magic of the Grimms' stories to the heart of every home.

Prince, The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats, Little Brother and
