The stories of magic and myth gathered by the Brothers Grimm have become 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 (Little Red Riding Hood), and Briar-Rose (Sleeping Beauty) are only a few of the more than two hundred enchanting characters included in this volume. The tales are presented just as Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm originally set them down: bold, primal, just frightening enough, and endlessly engaging.

En 1888, lorsqu'Oscar Wilde publie " Le Prince heureux et autres contes ", il attend de ce livre qu'il assoie une réputation encore mince - et c'est bien en effet son premier succès de librairie. Certains de ces textes sont des contes merveilleux, d'autres mettent en scène des animaux, d'autres encore sont satiriques : pages pleines d'humour où se fait jour souvent le ton joyeusement désabusé qui sera plus tard celui de ses comédies. Cette diversité inventive et brillante se retrouve dans tous les récits des années suivantes qui se moquent du sérieux et se jouent du devoir : histoire policière avec " Le Crime de Lord Arthur Savile ", histoire d'amour avec " Le Fantôme des Canterville ", mais histoires aussi de supercherie avec " Le Millionnaire modèle " et " Le Portrait de Mr W-H ", car la vérité n'est pas plus authentique que l'apparence. Wilde prend le parti de l'ironie et de la satire, et l'élégance l'emporte sur la morale dans un monde où rien n'échappe jamais au truquage - pas même la mort. Ce volume comprend tous les contes et récits de Wilde : " Le Prince heureux et autres contes ", " Une maison de grenades ", " Le Crime de Lord Arthur Savile et autres histoires ", " Le Portrait de Mr W-H "

Probally one the original "story within a story" book. Arabian nights is a selection of stories told by a young girl on her wedding night to a price who has sworn he will kill any girl who marries him. Her clever stories keep him from murdering her night after night. This is where classic fairy tales such as Aladdin and Ali Baba and the Forty Theives come from as well as moral tales and metaphors.The use of djins, magic and Eastern splendour makes Arabian Nights dazzle. A must read and a perfect counter point to western fairy tales such as Hans Christian Anderson and the Brothers Grimm.

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'It is thrifty to prepare today for the wants of tomorrow.' Living in Ancient Greece in the 5th Century BC, Aesop was said to be a slave and story-teller. His much-loved, enduring fables are revered the world over and remain popular as moral tales for children. With infamous vignettes, such as the race between the hare and the tortoise, the vain jackdaw, and the wolf in sheep's clothing, the themes of the fables remain as fresh today as when they were first told and give an insight into the Ancient Greek world.

Bawdy and exotic, Arabian Nights , features the wily, seductive Scheherazade, who saves her own life by telling tales of magical transformations, genies and wishes, flying carpets and fantastical journeys, terror and passion to entertain and appease the brutal King Shahryar. First introduced into the West in 1704, the stories of The Thousand and One Nights are most familiar to American readers in sanitized children's versions. This modern edition, based on Richard F. Burton's unexpurgated translation, restores the lushness of the original Arabic. Here are the famous adventures of Sinbad, "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves," and "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp." Here too are less familiar stories, such as "Prince Behram and the Princess Al-Datma," a delightful early version of The Taming of the Shrew , and "The Wily Dalilah and her Daughter Zaynab," a hilarious tale about two crafty women who put an entire city of men in their place. Intricate and imaginative, these stories-within-stories told over a thousand and one nights continue to captivate readers as they have for centuries.
