Author: Grimm, Jacob & Grimm, Wilhelm

For almost two centuries, the stories of magic and myth gathered by the Brothers Grimm have been part of the way children-and adults-learn about the vagaries of the real world. Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow-White, H?nsel and Gretel, Little Red-Cap (a.k.a. Little Red Riding Hood), and Briar-Rose (a.k.a. Sleeping Beauty) are only a few of more than 200 enchanting characters included here. Lyrically translated and beautifully illustrated, the tales are presented just as Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm originally set them down: bold, primal, just frightening enough, and endlessly engaging.

Black-and-white illustrations throughout.
