Grimm's Fairy Tales - Illustrated by Ada Dennis is a wonderful
collection of classic fairy tales including 'Little Snow White',
'Rapunzel', 'Hop-O'-My-Thumb', 'The Three Little Men in the Wood', 'Snow
White and Rose Red', 'Clever Grethel', 'The Giants Three Golden Hairs',
and many more. It is translated by L. L. Weedon, and the stories are
accompanied by the black-and-white illustrations of Ada Dennis, E.
Stuart Hardy, E. Nister, Arch Webb, G. H. Thompson, and others - with
the illustrations appearing alongside the text, so that the two may be
better appreciated. The Brothers Grimm are perhaps the best known
folklorists of all time. Die Brüder Grimm; Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm
Grimm (1786-1859), were German academics, linguists, cultural
researchers, lexicographers and authors - who together specialized in
collecting and publishing folklore during the nineteenth century. The
popularity of their collected tales has endured well; they have been
translated into more than 100 languages, and remain in print in the
present day. This is a text to be appreciated by young and old alike;
extraordinary for its literary as well as artistic significance. Pook
Press celebrates the great 'Golden Age of Illustration' in children's
literature - a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration
from the 1880s to the 1930s. Our collection showcases classic fairy
tales, children's stories, and the work of some of the most celebrated
artists, illustrators and authors.
