Description To Books Grimm's Fairy Tales
The Grimm brothers were early 19th-century writers best known for their fairy tales coming from Scandinavian, Icelandic and Germanic origins. By 1807 there was a growing interest in German folk tales. The Grimm brothers were academics who invited friends to their home and asked them to relate stories they had heard. They soon published their first collection of tales and from there several more volumes followed.This compilation of fairy tales which includes the complete canon of over 200 tales has become a beloved set of classical stories the world over. Included in this collection are Hansel and Gretel, Briar Rose, The Fisherman and His Wife, Rapunzel, The Frog Prince, Little Red Riding Hood, Rumpelstiltskin, Tom Thumb, and many more. These stories are a delight to read and will rekindle up many childhood memories as they are reread. Presented here in this edition is the faithful translation of Margaret Hunt.

I'm thrilled that this book contains the nasty version of Cinderella, where the stepsisters not only cut off parts of their feet in an attempt to wear the slipper, but also get their eyes pecked out by birds during the royal wedding. That'll learn 'em.These "children's classics" are fairly dripping with blood - particularly the evil blood of those who seek to keep true love from running its natural, ho-hum course.These were dark and scary times to be a stepmother. Even though Snow White isKinder-und Hausmärchen is a key German contribution to world literature. It comprises about 250 traditional tales, which were collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, and first published in 1812, with a second volume dated 1815. Although the most accurate translation of this title would be Childrens and Household Tales, most English readers know these stories as Grimms Fairy Tales, sadly often with the apostrophe misplaced, as Grimms Fairy Tales.Between 1824 and 1839, Edgar Taylor had translated
Dear my future kids,Mum is likely to read you this kind of gore fairy tales because to be completely honest with you, fairy tales aren't as sweet as what disney showed you. I know, sweethearts, beautiful lies, truth hurts.Yours truly,Mum.
I was familiar with the modern adaptations of these classic fairytales, but Id never read the originals in all their gory glory. I loved the majority of these stories. Theyre weird and morally ambiguous. A lot of them end with They all lived happily ever after, until they died. The Brothers Grimm are like the 1800s version of Internet trolls. You like these characters? Well, theyre all dead or miserable now. LOL. U mad?Fairytales are interesting because you get to see the values of the societies
I honestly love fairy tales so much. Like, soooooooooo much. And this book was no exception. I feel like most variations of fairy tales today are filled with plot holes. *cough, cough* Cinderella *cough, cough* But for once I found a version of Cinderella that I could enjoy! These fairy tales have far fewer plot holes. I recommend to everyone, because honestly, who doesn't like fairy tales?(Yes, I recognize that many people don't like fairy tales, but it seemed like a good way to end this
I love traditional tales, portuguese, english, german, russian, etc. And it's quite interesting to see that same tales that are told here have similar versions across the world. Usually my favourite stories are not the most known ones. Bellow it's a list of my favourites of this book.The Twelve Brothers, The Valiant Little Tailor, Old Mother Frost, The Godfather Death, The Golden Bird, The Feather Bird, The Six Swans, Briar Rose, King Thrush-Beard, The Twelve Hunters, Snow-White and the Seven
I was originally was going to give this a 3 because it is uneven strange, and sometimes surprisingly amoral, but then i realized how much I acutally had to say about it, and just how much I enjoyed reading these goofy stories. So bear with me while i recount some of the best and worst stories and some of the strange themes of grimm's fairy tales. (I have to admit, I write these reviews almost entirely for myself)Some themes/things you should know:-If you are an evil stepmother or witch, and you
