Looking for a sweet, soothing tale to waft you toward dreamland? Look somewhere else. The stories collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the early 1800s serve up life as generations of central Europeans knew it—capricious and often cruel. The two brothers, patriots determined to preserve Germanic folktales, were only accidental entertainers.
Once they saw how the tales bewitched young readers, the Grimm’s, and editors aplenty after them, started "fixing" things. Tales gradually got softer, sweeter, and primly moral. Yet all the polishing never rubbed away the solid heart of the stories, now read and loved in more than 160 languages.
With 444 pages of classic and some lesser-known fairy tales there is bound to be at least one if not a few of your favourite stories. Classics like Snow White and Rose Red, Little Red Riding Hood and The Frog Prince. Lesser-known tales such as: Cat Skin, The Salad and The Wedding of Mrs. Fox.
