The tales the Brothers Grimm gathered in nineteenth-century Germany are darker and stranger than most retellings suggest, and this collection presents them together in one volume.
Familiar stories including Cinderella, Snow White and Rapunzel sit beside dozens of lesser-known tales of talking animals, enchanted forests, foolish kings and bargains struck with witches. The mixture of whimsy and cruelty that made the collection a foundation of European folklore is kept intact, which makes the volume as useful to adult readers and students of folklore as to children hearing the stories read aloud.
The shape of the book:
• A complete gathering of the Grimm tales in a single classics edition
• Well-known stories alongside obscure entries rarely anthologised
• Source material for anyone studying folklore, motif and oral tradition
• Suitable for reading aloud, with adult judgement on the darker tales
A long-lasting addition to family and classic literature shelves, available at Boipoka.
