The Brothers Grimm's fairy tales are brought to life for a new
generation of readers in their original, uncut form by the modern
master of gothic horror, Gris Grimly. Grimm. The name alone is
enough to call to mind any number of the timeless fairy tales
collected by brothers Jacob and Wilhelm in the early nineteenth
century. These folktales have been told and retold in many forms
for over two centuries, and while the particular mix of fantasy,
adventure, and wonder that defined their seven-volume collection
has endured, the terror, violence, and darkness of the original
stories has often been lost in translation. Enter Gris Grimly, who
has faithfully reproduced the original text of a selection of tales
and adorned them with his own inimitable artwork. The result is a
Grimm collection unlike any other, set in a world that is
whimsically sinister, darkly vivid, and completely unforgettable.
When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their "Children's and
Household Tales" in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they
had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel," "Hansel and Gretel,"
and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. Yet
few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the
two early volumes, since in the next four decades the Grimms would
publish six other editions, each extensively revised in content and
style. For the very first time, " The Original Folk and Fairy Tales
of the Brothers Grimm" makes available in English all 156 stories
from the 1812 and 1815 editions. These narrative gems, newly
translated and brought together in one beautiful book, are
accompanied by sumptuous new illustrations from award-winning
artist Andrea Dezso.
From "The Frog King" to "The Golden Key," wondrous worlds
unfold--heroes and heroines are rewarded, weaker animals triumph
over the strong, and simple bumpkins prove themselves not so simple
after all. Esteemed fairy tale scholar Jack Zipes offers accessible
translations that retain the spare description and engaging
storytelling style of the originals. Indeed, this is what makes the
tales from the 1812 and 1815 editions unique--they reflect diverse
voices, rooted in oral traditions, that are absent from the Grimms'
later, more embellished collections of tales. Zipes's introduction
gives important historical context, and the book includes the
Grimms' prefaces and notes.
A delight to read, "The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the
Brothers Grimm" presents these peerless stories to a whole new
generation of readers."
In this adaptation of the Grimms' story, children are discovered
playing "Ladder words', changing one world to another, a letter at
a time, retaining an actual word during each change. Grettle says
she can change "flax" into "gold". Unfortunately, the King, whose
gold has been mysteriously disappearing, hears this and mistakes it
for an actual boast. He orders Grettle to work the change, or she
will lose her head, despite the Prince's protests who's in love
with her. She's shut in the Tower to perform her task, and
Rumpelstiltzkin, the gnome, offers to help her - at a price.Large
