Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

Author names not noted above: Aesop and Hans Christian Andersen.
Originally published between 1909 and 1917 under the name "Harvard
Classics," this stupendous 51-volume set-a collection of the
greatest writings from literature, philosophy, history, and
mythology-was assembled by American academic CHARLES WILLIAM ELIOT
(1834-1926), Harvard University's longest-serving president. Also
known as "Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf," it represented Eliot's
belief that a basic liberal education could be gleaned by reading
from an anthology of works that could fit on five feet of
bookshelf. Volume XVII features three collections of the greatest
fairy tales of Western literature: Fables, 82 of the most popular
allegories and cautionary tales by Greek writer AESOP (620-560 BC),
including "The Wolf and the Lamb," "The Fox and the Grapes," "The
Goose with the Golden Eggs," and others Household Tales, 42 stories
by German folklorists and linguists JACOB (1785-1863) and WILHELM
GRIMM (1786-1859), including "The Frog-King," "Rapunzel,"
"Cinderella," and others Tales, 20 of the most beloved tales by
Danish folklorist HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN (1805-1875), including
"The Ugly Duckling," "The Emperor's New Clothes," "The Little
Sea-Maid," and others
They saw their work in gathering the fairy tales of Europe as an
academic exercise, but the Brothers Grimm-aka German folklorists
and linguists JAKOB (1785-1863) and WILHELM GRIMM (1786-1859)-are
today remembered best as tellers of dark stories for children.
Here, in one compact volume, are 53 of the most beloved of the
stories they assembled, from well-known ones such as "The Sleeping
Beauty," "The Frog Prince," "Rapunzel," and "Hansel and Grethel" to
more obscure ones including "The Rabbit's Bride," "Six Soldiers of
Fortune," "Faithful John," and "The Three Spinsters." A treasury of
classic stories, this replica of an 1886 edition-translated by
English writer LUCY CRANE (1842-1882), with beautiful line drawings
by her brother, William Crane-will delight children and adults
alike.
