Grimm's Fairy Tales

Omtale

Full of cunning witches, dragon hoards and dwarves spinning straw into gold, the tales of the Brothers Grimm are some of the most recognised and best-loved fairy tales of all time. During the early 19th century, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm collected the stories of German folk lore in an act of romantic nationalism, believing these tales were the best way to preserve the heritage of the country. Now the reach of these stories extends well beyond the brothers' original intention, having influenced literature across the world for more than two centuries. This treasury includes 45 fairy tales, including both well-known stories such as 'Hansel and Grethel' and 'Rapunzel', as well as lesser-known works such as 'The Hare the Hedgehog' and 'The Iron Stove'. Presented here in a beautiful cloth-bound edition, Grimm's Fairy Tales is a collection is a treasure for both the young and old.
