A wonderful illustrated edition of Grimm’s fairy tales featuring artwork by the legendary Maurice Sendak.

This edition of The Juniper Tree and Other Tales from Grimm brings together a selection of classic Brothers Grimm stories in acclaimed translations by Lore Segal and Randall Jarrell, accompanied throughout by haunting, atmospheric illustrations by Maurice Sendak, creator of the beloved classic Where the Wild Things Are.

Rather than sanitising the original tales, this collection embraces the darker, more mysterious traditions of European folklore, making it an enduring favourite with collectors, literary enthusiasts and admirers of Sendak’s distinctive artwork.

Published by The Bodley Head in 1977, this is an increasingly sought-after British paperback edition and an excellent addition to any collection of fairy tales, illustrated books or twentieth-century children’s literature.
