The Illustrated Grimm’s Fairy Tales

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm gathered these tales from German oral tradition, and this illustrated edition brings the collection to a new set of readers. The selection covers the stories that entered general circulation through the brothers' work, alongside less familiar ones that show how strange and blunt the originals could be before later retellings softened them. Illustrations accompany the text throughout, which helps younger readers stay with a longer story while adults get the folklore intact. Cunning, cruelty, kindness and consequence run through the whole collection, and the short form suits reading aloud one tale at a time. How it reads: • Illustrated collection of Brothers Grimm folk tales • Mixes famous stories with lesser-known ones • Short pieces sized for bedtime reading • Presents the tales in their traditional form A good fit for families, teachers, folklore readers and collectors, available through Boipoka.
