Book description
Intermediate and up. The stories in this comprehensive collection include very well-known tales to the more obscure. They are somewhat graphic in places (e.g. Cinderella’s stepsisters cutting into their feet to fit into the slipper, and being found out because of the inevitable trail of blood), but authentic. Good for an adult perusing the collection with a young reader, because picking and choosing might be important – though they are definitive, this is not the best collection for a young child just learning fairy tales.

Book descriptions

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0394709306, Paperback)

For almost two centuries, the stories of magic and myth gathered by the Brothers Grimm have been part of the way children—and adults—learn about the vagaries of the real world. Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow-White, Hänsel and Gretel, Little Red-Cap (a.k.a. Little Red Riding Hood), and Briar-Rose (a.k.a. Sleeping Beauty) are only a few of more than 200 enchanting characters included here. Lyrically translated and beautifully illustrated, the tales are presented just as Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm originally set them down: bold, primal, just frightening enough, and endlessly engaging.
