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 worlds experts on childrens 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.

Synopsis:

Now readers can enjoy the original, unabridged tales in this new third expanded edition of "The Complete Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm, " which includes the famous original tales plus rare tales omitted from the final edition, fascinating stories from the annotations of 1856, highly unusual texts from a letter written by Jacob Grimm, and startling narratives from the brothers' posthumous papers.

If you want to read some Grimm Brothers Fairy Tales, this is the book. The title says it all.

Or does it? What it doesn't tell you is that this is the most complete and accurate collection ever published, at least in a widely distributed printing. So there!

Expertly made.
