Description
Enchanting, brimming with the wonder and magic of once upon a time, the rather tales of the Brothers Grimm are the special stories of childhood that stay with us all through our lives. But most Americans know them only secondhand, in adaptations that greatly reduce the tales’ power to the touch our emotions and intrigue our imaginations. Now, in probably the most comprehensive translation to this point, here are the classic fairy tales as the Brothers Grimm intended them to be-wealthy, stark, spiced with humor and violence, resonant with the rhythms of folklore and song. Volume I incorporates 100 unabridged tales, including those perfect-known across the world:Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, Hansel And Gretel, and Little Red Cap [also known as Little Red Riding Hood ]. These wonderful tales of life, passion, and make-consider appeal not only to children-who unabashedly love them-but to readers of any age.
