Other editions of book Grimm's Fairy Tales

Children's and Household Tales is a collection of German fairy tales published by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, the Brothers Grimm. The collection is commonly known today as Grimm's Fairy Tales. 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.

Beginning with their first stories published in 1812, fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm have delighted, terrified, and inspired generations of readers. Grimm's Fairy Tales brings together many of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s best-known and loved works, including “Rapunzel,” “Hansel and Gretel,” “Little Red Riding Hood,” and “Snow White and Rose Red.” Beloved by children and adults, these fairy tales have been adapted countless times for the stage and screen, and continue to inspire modern adaptations more than a century after their deaths.

Once upon a time, two brothers wished to preserve their German folklore in a collection of tales that they believed had been handed down for generations. When they began in 1812 they had just 86 stories that rather harshly reflected the difficult life of European peasantry. Subsequent editions would grow to hold over 200 tales. As time passed, the Brothers Grimm found that their collection of fairy tales, with all of its royalty, magical creatures, and brave adventures, entranced those who read them. This compilation of fairy tales which includes the complete canon of over 200 tales has become a beloved set of classical stories the world over. Presented here in this edition is the faithful translation of Margaret Hunt.

Here in one collection are all your favorites from the Brothers Grimm.

The famous Brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm, knew from experience the hard times experienced by some of the characters in their stories. They, however, did not find their happiness by meeting magical helpmates—they did so by collecting and retelling the magical legends of their homeland. And generations of children and the young at heart are so happy that they did!
