The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm

In 1812, siblings Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's and Household Tales, followed by a second volume in 1815. What they did not anticipate was the immense popularity and influence of stories like "Rapunzel," "Hansel and Gretel," and "Cinderella," which have since become well-loved around the world. However, many of the lesser-known tales from the early volumes have been overshadowed by the Grimms' later, extensively revised and more stylized editions. But now, for the first time, The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm presents all 156 stories from the 1812 and 1815 editions in English. These captivating narratives, freshly translated and beautifully compiled, are complemented by stunning illustrations from acclaimed artist Andrea Dezsö. From "The Frog King" to "The Golden Key," readers are transported to enchanting worlds where underdogs triumph, cleverness prevails, and seemingly ordinary individuals prove their worth
