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.
