Grimms’ Fairy Tales

by Jacob  Grimm (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Grimm(1786-1859). Translated by Edgar Taylor (1793-1839) and Marian Edwardes.Grimm 

  
 

A classic collection of oral German folklore, brought together for posterity by the scholarly brothers Grimm in the 1800s, this epitome of fairy tales includes many of the world’s best known stories. In these dark foreboding woods, you will find: Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, Rumpelstiltskin, Lily and the Lion (better known as Beauty and the Beast), and Snow White and Rose Red, among other timeless works. These tales were later heavily revised and sanitised, but here are presented closer to their grim and beloved originals. (Summary by Marlo Dianne)
