This edition of the Grimm's Fairy Tales contains sixty-eight of their classic stories, beautifully illustrated with the black-and-white drawings of Ruth Moorwood and a frontispiece by Harry Rountree. It includes the narratives of 'The Golden Bird', 'Tom Thumb', 'Rapunzel', 'Snow-Drop', 'The Elves and the Shoemaker', 'Hansel and Gretel', 'Rumpelstiltskin', 'Ashputtel', and many more. Harry Rountree (1878 - 1950), was a prolific illustrator, originally from New Zealand, known for his frequent and fruitful collaborations with other artists - such as this joint venture, with Ruth Moorwood. The Brothers Grimm are perhaps the best known folklorists of all time. Die Brüder Grimm; Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786-1859), were German academics, linguists, cultural researchers, lexicographers and authors - who together specialized in collecting and publishing folklore during the nineteenth century. The popularity of their collected tales has endured well; they have been translated into more than 100 languages, and remain in print in the present day. This is a text to be appreciated by young and old alike; extraordinary for its literary as well as artistic significance.
