Description
Description
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 illustrations throughout

Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Among the few indispensable, common-property books upon which Western culture can be founded . . . It will be a mistake if this volume is merely bought for a child; it should be, first and foremost, an educational 'must' for adults."
--W. H. Auden, The New York Times "Here it is, clear and fine and solid, beautifully and passionately illustrated, this one book--other than the Bible--that has truly made Western man."
--P. L. Travers, The New Republic "Everyone should possess and know Grimm's Fairy Tales--one of the great books of the world--and no English-speaking person could do better than this edition."
--Richard Adams, The New York Times Book Review "[A] splendid edition, admirably illustrated."
--Edmund Wilson, The New Yorker
