Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

No library's complete without the classics! This new, enhanced leather-bound edition collects the legendary fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm.

They are the stories we've known since we were children. Rapunzel. Hansel and Gretel. Cinderella. Sleeping Beauty. But the works originally collected by the Brothers Grimm in the early 1800s are not necessarily the versions we heard before bedtime. They're darker and often don't end very happily—but they're often far more interesting.

This elegant edition of Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales includes all our cherished favourites—Snow White, Rumpelstiltskin, Little Red Cap, and many more—in their original versions. With specially designed end papers, a genuine leather cover, and other enhancements, it's the perfect gift for anyone looking to build a complete home library.

Many of these tales begin with the familiar refrain of “once upon a time”—but they end with something unexpected and fascinating!

Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales is widely praised for its timeless storytelling and rich cultural influence. Readers often enjoy the dark, sometimes grisly elements that are more present in these original tales than in their modern adaptations. The collection is commendable for its historical and literary significance, providing insights into folklore and the society of the time. The translation is generally appreciated, although some readers note that certain parts may feel outdated to contemporary audiences.
