Description
THE BROTHERS GRIMM
When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm set out to collect stories in the early 1800s, their goal was not to entertain children but to preserve Germanic folklore—and the hard life of European peasants was reflected in the tales they discovered. However, once the brothers saw how the stories entranced young readers, they began softening some of the harsher aspects to make them more suitable for children.
A cornerstone of Western culture since the early 1800s, Grimm’s Fairy Tales is now beloved the world over. This collection of more than 120 of the Grimms’ best tales includes such classics as “Cinderella,†“Snow White,†“Hansel and Grethel,†“Rapunzel,†“Rumpelstiltskin,†“Little Red Riding Hood,†and “The Frog Prince,†as well as others that are no less delightful.
