The original fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm are the foundation from which many modern retellings have emerged.
They are the stories we've known since we were children: Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty. However, 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 happily—but they’re often far more interesting.
This elegant edition of Grimm’s Complete Fairy Tales includes all the cherished favourites—Snow White, Rumpelstiltskin, Little Red Cap, and more—in their original versions. Many of these tales begin with the familiar refrain of “once upon a time”—but they end with something unexpected and fascinating!
With specially designed endpapers, a genuine leather cover, and other enhancements, this edition is the perfect gift for anyone looking to build a complete home library.
