This edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales is a fantastic collection classic
stories including such well-known and loved stories as 'The Frog
Prince', 'Hansel and Gretel', 'The Valiant Little Tailor', 'Cinderella',
'Snow White', 'Rumpelstiltskin' and 'Briar Rose'. It was originally
published in 1917 and is decorated with stunning black-and-white
illustrations by Louis Rhead. These beautiful images further refine the
enchanting storytelling - all presented together in this text. It is a
book to be enjoyed by both young and old, a beautiful example of
literary and artistic endeavour. The Brothers Grimm (or Die Brüder
Grimm), Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786-1859), were German
academics, linguists, cultural researchers, lexicographers and authors -
who together specialised 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. 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.
