Rare edition with unique illustrations and elegant classic cream paper.
When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's and Household Tales in 1812,
followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel,"
"Hansel and Gretel," and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world.
From "The Frog King" to "The Golden Key," wondrous worlds unfold--heroes and heroines are rewarded, weaker animals triumph over the strong, and simple bumpkins prove themselves not so simple after all.
A delight to read, The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm presents these peerless stories to a whole new generation of readers.
