The Annotated Brothers Grimm
A beautifully bound volume of the Grimm collection. With its side notes and explanations of what is going on in each tale, what better way to teach children the origin of these stories and gain a greater appreciation of its creation. This book is just that book to have on your library shelf. I am delighted to have it. (And I am well over 13 years of age.)

A decent collection of these famous stories
This book does not contain all of the Grimms' stories, but it does include a wide selection (sixtyish) of the most famous and most interesting tales. There were many more stories, of course, but the editor of this edition has chosen some of the most well-known and representative ones. In addition, there are many tales included that aren't necessarily famous but are just as good as the familiar ...

All the classics and then some!
This is a fantastic collection - a must have for any home library. I just wish it was hardbound! I really think that's all that needs to be said.

Grimm's Fairy Tales (Barnes & Noble Classics)

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2003

Once upon a time...
Unlike Hans Christian Anderson, the Brothers Grimm did not invent new fairy tales but collected old ones, with the intention of preserving the oral tradition of the German peasantry. Whether in fact they fulfilled that intention has been questioned. Their tales do afford a glimpse of a world of castles and forests, nobles and peasants, superstitious beliefs and primitive practices that suggest ...

a simple idea, with a touch of genius in it
This series of readers really works. I've been running through them at bedtime with my six-year-old, who adores taking it in turns with me to read her page after I've read mine. It turns reading into a collaborative game, with plenty of play-acting (doing the different voices of the characters) thrown in. At my daughter's stage of reading, a short book can be a long haul, when she has to do it ...

The Grimm's Grimmest, Indeed!
If you're looking for a Disney version of your favorite fairy tales, you're not going to find it here. The Grimm's Grimmest is a fantastic compilation of some of the Brothers Grimm's darkest tales, as they were originally meant to be read. These tales illustrate a world where humans are suitable for consumption, sexuality knows no bounds, and two brothers let their imaginations run rampant. The ...

WOW!!!! Beautiful!! (...and then some!)
This book is not only asthetically pleasing, with its richly colored and textured cover and gilt pages; but each and every story reflects the wonder and imagination that draws us all to fairy tales.... Inside the Grimm's are at their finest, and pulling no punches. This may be where Disney found Cinderella, Snow White and so on - but they are NOT the watered down versions we have seen in ...

This is the true story!
It is so difficult to find these tales told with the original plot, and not made so happy and safe that the point gets lost. And there are important lessons from these tales. Does EVERY story have to end up with everyone living happily ever after? What is that teaching? My three year old loves the danger, gets the message and is not unduly frightened. The illustrations are charming and rich ...

Excellent Learning Tool
I am a German student of three years, and I got this book in hopes to improve my German skills. I think that this is absolutely the best book a German student can get. -A German-English Dictionary is not necessary to read this book -Most stories are well-known, so even a student that doesn't have strong skills in either language can generally understand the stories -On the left page is the ...

The Twelve Dancing Princesses

Orchard Books, 1999

The rare real classic
When a certain kind of book is read to you as a child, and read repeatedly at that, the child in question is affected in ways that cannot be gauged tangibly. I was read "The Twelve Dancing Princesses", illustrated by Errol Le Cain, repeatedly as a child and it has stuck with me ever since. Some books just do. For the entirety of my childhood life I loved "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" more ...

Classic retelling of an old fable
The fisherman and his wife can take any number of retellings and some are better than others. The story is a great parable about greed and the misuse of power and appeals to many age groups. I would like a few more versions of it to add to my collection.

My Kids Love It!
This was our first "We Both Can Read" book and it is still my children's favorite. These books are wonderful to ease your child into reading for you if they are a little unsure of their skills. It gives them great confidence sharing the "work" with you and waiting for their turn to read. The pictures are wonderful so my younger child has just as much fun getting into the story.

Throughout their lives they remained close friends, and both studied law at Marburg University.

A Beautiful Book & Great Story
The illustrations in this book are wonderful. A true artist. Very cleverly hides the elves in each page and its much fun for a 3 year old to find them and the mice and birds too.

Fairy Tales (Piccolo Books)
Wilhelm Grimm, Jacob Grimm

Pan Books, 1977

A certain king had a beautiful garden, and in the garden stood a tree which bore golden apples. These apples were always counted, and about the time when they began to grow ripe it was found that every night one of them was gone. The king became very angry at this, and ordered the gardener to keep watch all night under the tree. The gardener set his eldest son to watch; but about twelve o'clock he fell asleep, and in the morning another of the ...
