The Brothers Grimm rediscovered a host of fairy tales, telling of princes and princesses in their castles, witches in their towers and forests, of giants and dwarfs, of fabulous animals and dark deeds. This selection of their folk tales was made and translated by Lucy Crane, and includes firm favourites such as Rapunzel, The Goose Girl, Sleeping Beauty, Hansel and Gretel and Snow White. It is illustrated throughout by Walter Crane's charming line drawings.

An extensive collection of tales by the Brothers Grimm, including The Frog Prince, Rapunzel, Hansel and Grethel, Aschenputtel (better known as Cinderella), Tom Thumb and Tom Thumb's Travels, The Bremen Town Musicians, The Sleeping Beauty, Snow-white, Little Red-cap and many others, delightfully illustrated in a pure Victorian style by Sir Walter Crane.

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm (1785-1863 and 1786-1859, respectively), known as the Brothers Grimm, were German academics, linguists, cultural researchers, and authors who together collected folklore. Among the most well-known storytellers of European folk tales, the Grimms popularized such stories as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, The Frog Prince, Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, Snow White, and Little Red Riding Hood here called Little Red Cap] -- all of which are inlcuded in Household Stories, along with dozens of others. Also included are the original black & white interior illustrations from the 1886 British edition.
