Book Description

1 Jan 2003
The Complete Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm

Perhaps no other stories possess as much power to enchant, delight, and surprise as those penned by the immortal Brothers Grimm. Now, in the new, expanded third edition, renowned scholar and folklorist Jack Zipes has translated all 250 tales collected and published by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, plus twenty-nine rare tales omitted from the original German edition, as well as narratives uncovered in the brothers’ letters and papers.

Truly the most comprehensive translation to date, this critically acclaimed edition recaptures the fairy tales as the Brothers Grimm intended them to be: rich, stark, spiced with humor and violence, resonant with folklore and song.

One of the world’s experts on children’s literature, Jack Zipes is a professor of German at the University of Minnesota and is the author of numerous books on folklore and fairy tales.

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVED it!! 3 July 1999
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
The Grimm's fairy tales are so cool! I like this particular version because it's inexpensive, and I like the typeface used. But those two things aside, these fairy tales will endure forever. They're absolutely fascinating. If you like fairy tales, but have never read the ones the Grimm Brothers collected, now is the time :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Stupid Hans Saves The Day 14 Feb 1997
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
Unless you're Stupid Hans you're probably too clever to accomplish the task of getting the treasure, the kingdom, the woman or the point of these stories. With over 200 tales you must have the stamina to read these ofttimes repetitive tales with predictable kings and queens and dwarves and giants and castles. But don't let the repetition cast a spell over you and put you to sleep. Take each story one step at a time and don't worry whether you'll finish the daunting task before the evil witch comes to punish you. Do what your friends the animals tell you--listen to your feelings. Then you will come to see where the values lay in these bizarre and often grim tales. Then you too will understand that Stupid Hans isn't so stupid.
