Grimm's Fairy Tales

by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm

Published 20 December 1812
First published in Germany in 1812, these tales were collected by the two brothers Grimm from neighbouring villages and spinning rooms, and include Hansel and Gretel, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Rumpelstiltskin. Arthur Rackham's illustrations were first published in 1900.

Hans Christian Anderson is the ultimate author of the literary fairy-tale.

His utterly original stories avoid the moral didacticism and Disney-esque saccharine that fairy tales are often associated with. Instead their beauty, tragedy and strangeness have captivated the imagination of readers, both young and old.

This wonderful cloth-bound treasury contains 35 of his best-known tales, including 'The Snow Queen', 'The Emperor's New Suit' and 'The Red Shoes'.
