More About This Book

Overview

Grimms' Fairy Tales is a charming new edition of one of the best-known collections of children's stories of all times. Peter Carter brings a novelist's flair for narrative pace and vivid imagery to these familiar tales while remaining faithful to the spirit and tone of the original orally transmitted stories. The authentic rhythm of spoken English is captured in Carter's clear and resonant style.
All the favorite characters are here—Cinderella, Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel and Gretel, Red Riding Hood—along with others less well-known in gripping tales such as The Singing Bone and The Carrion Crows. Haunting and powerful, sad and humorous, these stories remain as fresh and fascinating as the first day they were told.

A collection of five favorite fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm--"The Frog Prince," "Hanzel and Gretel," "Rapunzel," "The Old Woman in the Forest," and "Brier Rose."

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Old-fashioned, often broken typeface and Arthur Rackham's gloriously reproduced original artwork accompany 22 stories in a new edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales, originally published in 1909. A sepia-toned illustration for "Red Riding Hood" shows the cloaked girl meeting the bristly wolf, dwarfed by endlessly tall, bare trees. A caption in "The Bremen Town Musicians" recalls the bygone era: "They came upon a Cat, sitting in the road, with a face as long as a wet week." ( Sept.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

    Overly edited.

    I have read numerous versions of Grimm's Fairy Tales. You can say, I collect different editions of it. This book however, is edited. It isn't as gruesome or gory as some of the versions are. The stories are still good, and have mainly the same plot, but, details are left out. For example, in the Juniper Tree (page 198), the story is supposed to have the little boy being eaten by his father, unknowingly. In this version, he is just buried under the Juniper Tree, instead of just his bones after the father ate the broth. Also, the song the bird sings is different. Maybe it was just a difference in translators. I really don't know. But, it wasn't as satisfying as other versions of this classic collection.

    Gruesome!

    Edited beyond recognition this edition has been dismembered like a Grimm brothers character, although you'll never know because they took out all of the original, gruesome details.

    A treasured book of ours

    These tales which stand the test of time have become some of mine and my son's favorites. We love to read folklore from all over the world, but Grimm's are some of the best as far as we can see.

    A Forever Classic!

    My father bought this book for me when I was about 7. Since then I've read at least a dozen times. The stories never get tiring and are something to share with the next generation. It's no wonder the Grimm name as become synonomous with children's fantasy and so many have reinterpreted these classic tales. Should be enjoyed by all ages!

    I Also Recommend:

    The destruction of a classic

    This book is miserably pathetic and clealy illustrates what well intentioned idiots can to a a memorable book. There is one proviso though...and that is if you purchase this book, also purchase Grimm's Fairy Tales by Maria Tatar who attempts and does salvage the core and meaning of the original verses. One item of concern for Elizabeth Dalton was which end of the donkey, ass, burrow, jenny, or palfrey the animal had the ability to pass gold. It's all in the mind Elizabeth. I promise you that if there did exist a gold passing burro, from whatever end, and I owned it...I would be biting every nugget to test its authenticity. Wouldn't it be nice one day, if we no longer had to put up with prudish censors and mindless editors who decide for me that I cannot handle the material. I resent having to read something ancient through the eys of a super rigid Victorian who sees something sleazy in every situation. Why not leave the original material as it was when it was in its best form? I would recommend buying and reading the book along with Maria Tatar's book Without mario Dalton's book falls flat on its face. It is mindless, dumb, and unfunney until you read the rest of the story.

    Blown Away

    Absolutely blown away. I never knew the reality of most of the fairy tales that have been retold and cleaned up for Disney and whomever else wanted tell them. Many of them range from macabre to gruesome...a must read.

    Terrific Read

    These are not the sweet children's fairy tales that most people know, they are the actual Grimm's fairy tales. If you do not know already, the Grimm's made them to scare children and therefore they are not always nice. If you are preparred for that then you will love these and enjoy the creativity of the Grimm brothers!

    Fascinating Historical Text

    The Classic Series does it again - the Grimm's Fairy Tales offers the pure and unadulterated versions of the stories. This book offers 600 pages of stories. Although the stories are a bit simple and extreme to modern sensibilities, from a historical context it is a fascinating experience.

    I wouldn't recommend this to children! But to the academic or historically inclined adult in your life this makes for a fascinating read!

    Not your Disney edition... this is the real thing

    In regards to the other reviews, I think I was more pleased with this because I was more aware of the "traditional" versions. This isn't Disney, people! This is GRIMM. And no, it's not politically correct. And no, it's not happily ever after. But if you are interested in past history and past tales, if you want to see the "real" versions (or close to it), read this. It's entertaining, imaginative and what a lot of today's stories are based on.

    A Great Classic

    Finally a storybook that contains the true side of the stories and how they were originally told. I was fed up with the Disney version of a couple of the stories, a little too kidish, but these stories can be read by any teen or adult. Varying in pages, each story is long enough to tell the story but short enough that the story doesn't get boring before the end. The Brothers Grimm did a fantastic job with the stories andI recommed this book for anyone who loves tales or short stories. This book is simply a classic.

    Good Book

    this was a great book to read as a class and do exercises and questions at the end of each story in the book. Doing those exercises with the book help you understand how to analize things.

    An Okay Read

    I enjoyed this book most of the time. However, there was only a handful of different storylines in the whole book. Each fairy tale plot would be the same as another with just new character names. I recommend reading it, but if you come to a story that seems oddly familiar, skip it and go on, you will eventually find some really fantastic stories.

    The other reviews are wrong...

    When I was looking at reviews to buy this book, people said it had the worst format and had many spelling errors. I decided to get the free sample and see if what they said was true. I found out that the book did not have any spelling errors that I could see, the only problem I had was that it doesn't flow as well as other books but come on! These stories are from how many years ago? This is a great read for people who like farie tales or want to know more of the Grimm tales than the ones everybody knows. If you don't believe me just get the sample!
