About the Author

When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, aka the Brothers Grimm, set out to collect stories in the early 1800s, their goal was not to entertain children but to preserve Germanic folklore. Once the brothers saw how the stories entranced young readers, however, they began softening some of the harsher aspects to make them more suitable for children. A cornerstone of Western culture since the early 1800s, Grimm’s Fairy Tales is now one of the world’s most beloved books.

Editorial Reviews

"Lucy and Walter Crane have created an illustrated translation that is both accurate and ingenious, exact and inventive. Their English edition is a reproduction of the original text, a novel representation, and a transcultural verbal/visual work." --Paola Spinozzi
