Description

“A milestone, a tour de force, a joy to peer…27 stories from the Grimm brothers’ collection [including] a few familiar tales and others which are less widely recognized. The translations…are direct and fresh, unexpurgated and unsweetened. The illustrations are excellent; beautiful, imaginative, appropriate, tender and terrible-as despite the fact that the tales had been looking forward to Maurice Sendak to interpret them. For kids and adults.”-Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

Translated by Lore Segal with four tales translated by Randall Jarrell. Illustrated by Maurice Sendak

Many Fur” is translated from the text within the first edition of Kinder- und Hansmarchen (1812, 1815), which is more coherent than the versions within the later editions. The opposite tales are translated from lalter texts, as reworked by the Brothers Grimm.

Randall Jarrell’s translations of “Fisherman and His Wife,”Hansel and Gretel,” The Golden Bird and Other Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm (Macmillian, 1962), are reprinted here.
