The Complete First Edition - The Original Folk & Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm

En savoir plus sur le livre

Makes available in English all 156 stories from the 1812 and 1815 editions of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimms' Children's and household tales. Zipes offers accessible translations that retain the spare description and storytelling style of the originals, reflecting the diverse voices, rooted in oral traditions, that are absent from the Grimms' later, more embellished collections of tales. From 'The Frog King' to 'The Golden Key, ' wondrous worlds unfold--heroes and heroines are rewarded, weaker animals triumph over the strong, and simple bumpkins prove themselves not so simple after all. --From publisher description
