Two nineteenth-century German scholars collected the household tales told around them, and the result became one of the most widely read story collections in any language.
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm gathered stories that were spoken long before they were written, which is why the language stays direct and the plots move at speed. Familiar names sit beside dozens of tales most readers have never met, and the darker, stranger versions that predate later retellings are kept intact. The book suits a few pages at bedtime or a long run in one afternoon.
Inside this collection:
• Well-known tales including Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel and Hansel and Gretel
• Many rarely anthologised stories from the same German folk tradition
• Brief, self-contained chapters that work well read aloud
• Cautionary threads that reward discussion with older children
A solid pick for families, folklore readers and students of European storytelling, available at Boipoka.
