Grimm's Fairy Tales: Grimm Jacob & Wilhelm

Originally entitled Childrens and Household Tales, Grimm`s Fairy Tales were first published by the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the early nineteenth century.
This selection contains 80 stories and includes some of the best known, such as `Briar-Rose` (perhaps better known as `Sleeping Beauty`), and `Little Red-Cap` (`Little Red Riding Hood`), as well as some lesser known talcs, like `The Bremen Town Musicians`, `The Goose-Girl` and `King Thrushbcard`.
Handsome princes and princesses, wicked witches and step-mothers, benevolent kings and fortune seekers abound among the stories that were collected from all over Germany in the folklore tradition. But no matter what the moral of the story, good always triumphs over evil.
Also included arc more than 45 of Arthur Rackham`s marvellous illustrations which inject new life into these timeless tales.
