The Complete Grimm’s Fairy Tales
The Complete Grimm’s Fairy Tales (The Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library), by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm / ISBN 9780394709307 / 864-page paperback
***
The stories of magic and myth gathered by the Brothers Grimm have become part of the way children—and adults—learn about the vagaries of the real world. Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow-White, Hänsel and Gretel, Little Red-Cap (Little Red Riding Hood), and Briar-Rose (Sleeping Beauty) are only a few of the more than two hundred enchanting characters included in this volume. The tales are presented just as Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm originally set them down: bold, primal, just frightening enough, and endlessly engaging.
With black-and-white drawings by Josef Schari throughout
