Selected Tales (Brothers Grimm) (Penguin Classics)by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:#1 New York Times bestseller Philip Pullman retells the world’s best-loved fairy tales on their 200th anniversary Two hundred years ago, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published the first volume of Children’s and Household Tales. Now, at a veritable fairy-tale moment—witness the popular television shows Grimm and Once Upon a Time and this year’s two movie adaptations of “Snow White”—Philip Pullman, one of the most popular authors of our time, makes us fall in love all over again with the immortal tales of the Brothers Grimm. From much-loved stories like “Cinderella” and “Rumpelstiltskin,” “Rapunzel” and “Hansel and Gretel” to lesser-known treasures like “Briar-Rose,” “Thousandfurs,” and “The Girl with No Hands,” Pullman retells his fifty favorites, paying homage to the tales that inspired his unique creative vision—and that continue to cast their spell on the Western imagination. Synopsis:A selection of the best known tales from the 200 canonical stories, compiled by the Brothers Grimm at the beginning of the 19th century. Synopsis:Sixty-five German folk-fairy tales with explanatory, introductory material, notes on each individual selection, and a glossary of Scots words.
