This book contains almost 200 traditional stories translated from the great fairy tale collection which Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm compiled at the beginning of the last century. Featuring: The Frog Prince; Hansel and Gretel; Cinderella; Rapunzel; The Elves and the Shoemaker; Rumpelstiltskin and Snow White appear in their original versions in these pages, alongside a wealth of less well-known stories like Simeli-Mountain, King Thrushbeard and Clever Alice. These tales of adventure and enchantment, meant to entertain while pointing a moral would probably be regarded as very politically incorrect now – but they are also magical, adventurous and often humorous. With over 220 charming line drawings.
