Grimms'' Fairy Tales

4.13 (26,497 ratings by Goodreads)

English

By (author): Brothers Grimm

For the past two centuries these delightful stories, gathered together and written down by brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, have entertained and frightened children and adults alike.

Grimms' Fairy Tales is part of the Macmillan Collectors Library; a series of stunning, pocket-sized classics bound in real cloth with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is complete and unabridged, and features Arthur Rackham's masterly illustrations, all hand-coloured by Barbara Frith, one of Britain's leading colourists.

The lives of Tom Thumb, Cinderella, Rumplestiltskin and the Frog Prince form part of our common heritage: they stimulate the imagination and the heart, and linger at the back of our minds for a lifetime. They are funny, disturbing, wise and compassionate. They speak of joy and terror, happiness and revenge, love and violence.

About Brothers Grimm

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were born during the 1780s in Hanau Germany. After studying law they worked as diplomats and librarians in Kassel. In 1837 they were dismissed from their professorships at the University of Göttingen for refusing to swear allegiance to the new King of Hanover but were later invited to join the Academy in Berlin by Frederick William IV of Prussia where they remained for the rest of their lives. The brothers were two of the greatest scholars that Germany has produced. Aside from their folktales they produced many different volumes of research as well as anthologies of verse and song and two of Germany's most important linguistic texts the Deutsche Grammatik (German Grammar) and the Deutsche Wörterbuch (German Dictionary). Wilhelm died in 1859 and Jacob died in 1863.
