WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JACK ZIPES Wolves and grandmothers, ugly sisters, a hous
e made of bread, a goose made of gold...the folk tales collected by the Grimm br
others created an astonishingly influential imaginative world. However, this is
also a world where a woman serves her stepson up in a stew, a man marries a snak
e, a princess sleeps with a frog, and an evil queen dances to death in a pair of
burning shoes. Violent, funny, disturbing, wise and sometimes beautiful, these
stories have intrigued children, adults, scholars, psychologists and artists for
centuries.
The only complete edition available of the most famous collection
of fairy tales ever published, this collection features the 279 stories in an a
cclaimed, modern, unexpurgated translation.
