Books with title Fariy Tales of Grimm

The Brothers Grimm, Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm (1786-1859), were born in Hanau, near Frankfurt, in the German state of Hesse. The brothers were close friends, and both studied law at Marburg University. They are best (and universally) known for the collection of over two hundred folk tales they made from oral sources and published in two volumes of 'Nursery and Household Tales' in 1812 and 1814. Their intention was to preserve such these stories as part of German cultural and literary history, and their collection was first published with scholarly notes and no illustration. The tales, however, soon came into the possession of young readers. This was in part due to Edgar Taylor, who made the first English translation in 1823, selecting about fifty stories 'with the amusement of some young friends principally in view.' Grimm’s fairy tales have been an essential ingredient of children's reading ever since.The Collection•The Golden Bird•Hans In Luck•Jorinda And Jorindel•The Travelling Musicians•Old Sultan•The Straw, The Coal, And The Bean•Briar Rose•The Dog And The Sparrow•The Twelve Dancing Princesses•The Fisherman And His Wife•The Willow-Wren And The Bear•The Frog-Prince•Cat And Mouse In Partnership•The Goose-Girl•The Adventures Of Chanticleer And Partlet•Rapunzel•Fundevogel•The Valiant Little Tailor•Hansel And Gretel•The Mouse, The Bird, And The Sausage•Mother Holle•Little Red-Cap [Little Red Riding Hood]•The Robber Bridegroom•Tom Thumb•Rumpelstiltskin•Clever Gretel•The Old Man And His Grandson•The Little Peasant•Frederick And Catherine•Sweetheart Roland•Snowdrop•The Pink•Clever Elsie•The Miser In The Bush•Ashputtel•The White Snake•The Wolf And The Seven Little Kids•The Queen Bee•The Elves And The Shoemaker•The Juniper-Tree•The Turnip•Clever Hans•The Three Languages•The Fox And The Cat•The Four Clever Brothers•Lily And The Lion•The Fox And The Horse•The Blue Light•The Raven•The Golden Goose•The Water Of Life•The Twelve Huntsmen•The King Of The Golden Mountain•Doctor Knowall•The Seven Ravens•The Wedding Of Mrs Fox•The Salad•The Story Of The Youth Who Went Forth To Learn What Fear Was•King Grisly-Beard•Iron Hans•Cat-Skin•Snow-White And Rose-RedExtraIncluded is also an audiobook version of the entire collection.Finally a number of popular English fairy tales from the same period is also included.

When English schoolboy Jamie meets a grimy, one-eyed old man who seems set on stealing other people’s hamburgers, he isn’t sure what to think. Before long, the old man – Grimm – is telling Jamie fantastic stories: he claims to have been present in the days of ancient English heroes such as Beowulf, Hengest, and King Arthur! Is Grimm just a deluded old man – perhaps Jamie’s mysterious Uncle Albert? Or could he possibly be telling the truth?
