Synopsis
The fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm have filled the dreams of children with dancing princesses and magical elves - as well as witches and wolves. Here are twenty-two of the masters' most beloved stories, from "Rapunzel" and "Little Red Riding Hood" to "Cinderella" and "Hansel and Grethel," in a deluxe anthology based on a rare 1909 edition. Twenty-one full colour paintings and twenty-eight black and white drawings created by the legendary illustrator Arthur Rackham are filled with lush settings and delightful characterizations; his beautiful and evocative artwork is every bit as powerful as when first published nearly one hundred years ago. Such a fairy-tale meeting of words and pictures is certain to excite the imagination of every child and adult who holds - and treasures - this timeless collection.
