Books with author Wilhelm K. Grimm

Grimm's Fairy Tales is a collection of German fairy tales published by the Grimm brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm. The collection is commonly known in English as Grimm's Fairy Tales.The first volume of the first edition was published in 1812, containing 86 stories; the second volume of 70 stories followed in 1815. For the second edition, two volumes were issued in 1819 and a third in 1822, totalling 170 tales. The third edition appeared in 1837; fourth edition, 1840; fifth edition, 1843; sixth edition, 1850; seventh edition, 1857. Stories were added, and also subtracted, from one edition to the next, until the seventh held 211 tales. All editions were extensively illustrated, first by Philipp Grot Johann and, after his death in 1892, by German illustrator Robert Leinweber.The first volumes were much criticized because, although they were called "Children's Tales", they were not regarded as suitable for children, both for the scholarly information included and the subject matter. Many changes through the editions – such as turning the wicked mother of the first edition in Snow White and Hansel and Gretel (shown in original Grimm stories as Hänsel and Grethel) to a stepmother, were probably made with an eye to such suitability. They removed sexual references--such as Rapunzel's innocently asking why her dress was getting tight around her belly, and thus naively revealing to the fairy her pregnancy and the prince's visits--but, in many respects, violence, particularly when punishing villains, was increased.In 1825, the Brothers published their Kleine Ausgabe or "small edition", a selection of 50 tales designed for child readers. This children's version went through ten editions between 1825 and 1858.

The best loved fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm collection, including Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, Tom Thumb, and many others. Translated in modern English. The internationally renowned writings of the Grimm brothers have inspired dozens of Disney remakes and hundreds of other modern day fairy tales and stories. This collection includes the most well-known among the hundreds of tales in the expansive Grimm library.

Excerpt from Popular Stories Collected by the Brothers GrimmI have to express my obligations to the Widow of Mr. Edgar Taylor for obligingly giving her consent to my reprinting the original translation, the labour of reproducing which has been very carefully performed by Messrs. Taylor and Francis, who printed the first editions nearly half a century ago. I had at first thought of reproducing it in two volumes the same size as the originals; but it was Mr. Ruskin's wish that the new edition should appeal to young readers rather than to adults, and the present convenient form was decided upon.The notes, reprinted from the original editions, are by Mr. Edgar Taylor; and to his Widow I am indebted for the loan of the interesting letter from Sir Walter Scott, printed at p. 334.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This edition contains the English translation and the original text in German."Cinderella", or "The Little Glass Slipper" (French: "Cendrillon, ou La petite Pantoufle de Verre", Italian: "Cenerentola", German: "Aschenputtel"), is a European folk tale embodying a myth-element of unjust oppression in "Histoires ou contes du temps passé" published by Charles Perrault in 1697, and by the Brothers Grimm in their folk tale collection "Grimms' Fairy Tales". Although both the story's title and the character's name change in different languages, in English-language folklore "Cinderella" is the archetypal name. The word "Cinderella" has, by analogy, come to mean one whose attributes were unrecognized, or one who unexpectedly achieves recognition or success after a period of obscurity and neglect. The still-popular story of "Cinderella" continues to influence popular culture internationally, lending plot elements, allusions, and tropes to a wide variety of media. The Aarne–Thompson system classifies Cinderella as "the persecuted heroine". The story of Rhodopis about a Greek slave girl who marries the king of Egypt is considered the earliest known variant of the "Cinderella" story and many variants are known throughout the world."Aschenputtel" (bei Bechstein "Aschenbrödel") ist eine im europäischen Kulturraum weit verbreitete Märchenfigur, die im deutschsprachigen Raum vor allem durch die Märchensammlung der Brüder Grimm in Erinnerung geblieben ist. Das Märchen gehört zu Märchentyp 510a nach Aarne und Thompson. Es steht in den Kinder und Hausmärchen der Brüder Grimm an Stelle 21 (KHM 21) und geht durch mündliche Weitergabe auf Charles Perraults "Cendrillon ou la Petite Pantoufle de verre" ("Aschenputtel oder der kleine Glasschuh") von 1697 zurück. Ludwig Bechstein übernahm es in sein Deutsches Märchenbuch als "Aschenbrödel" (1845 Nr. 70, 1853 Nr. 62). Perraults Fassung mit den in Apfelschimmel verwandelten Mäusen und dem Kürbis, der mit Hilfe der Fee zur Kutsche wird, prägte maßgeblich Walt Disneys Zeichentrickfilm "Cinderella" von 1950.
