Once upon a time, two brothers wished to preserve their German folklore in a collection of tales that they believed had been handed down for generations. When they began in 1812 they had just 86 stories that rather harshly reflected the difficult life of European peasantry. Subsequent editions would grow to hold over 200 tales. As time passed, the Brothers Grimm found that their collection of fairy tales, with all of its royalty, magical creatures, and brave adventures, entranced those who read them. 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 The Golden Bird Hans In Luck Jorinda And Jorindel The Travelling Musicians Old Sultan The Straw, The Coal, And The Bean Briar Rose The Dog And The Sparrow The Twelve Dancing Princesses The Fisherman And His Wife The Willow-Wren And The Bear The Frog-Prince Cat And Mouse In Partnership The Goose-Girl The Adventures Of Chanticleer And Partlet Rapunzel Fundevogel The Valiant Little Tailor Hansel And Gretel The Mouse, The Bird, And The Sausage Mother Holle Little Red-Cap [Little Red Riding Hood] The Robber Bridegroom Tom Thumb Rumpelstiltskin Clever Gretel The Old Man And His Grandson The Little Peasant Frederick And Catherine Sweetheart Roland Snowdrop The Pink Clever Elsie The Miser In The Bush Ashputtel The White Snake The Wolf And The Seven Little Kids The Queen Bee The Elves And The Shoemaker The Juniper-Tree The Turnip Clever Hans The Three LangUages The Fox And The Cat The Four Clever Brothers Lily And The Lion The Fox And The Horse The Blue Light The Raven The Golden Goose The Water Of Life The Twelve Huntsmen The King Of The Golden Mountain Doctor Knowall The Seven Ravens The Wedding Of Mrs Fox The Salad The Story Of The Youth Who Went Forth To Learn What Fear Was King Grisly-Beard IRON HANS CAT-SKIN SNOW-WHITE AND ROSE -RED

This is a seriously beautiful book. As a huge book lover, just looking at it and paging through it makes me happy. As you can see from the pictures, it comes with gold dipped pages and a red ribbon book marker. My boyfriend commented that it looks just like a Bible.I attached some photos of the Contents, just in case anyone was wondering what specific stories are included (although I do believe it's supposed to be a complete set--but I don't know Grimm's stories well enough to confirm that).
Hope my pics have helped! :)

The Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales Original Version The Brothers Grimm 9781450597173 Books Reviews
Great book for all the fans of classic fairy tales, me included. The book is of course in Old English grammar, which is grand. And it is printed in the U.K. so you'll see a lot of 'single quotations' rather than "double quotations".
The only con is the stories aren't the "original" version per se. The Frog Prince for example turned human again by sleeping in the princess's pillow, but the original version, the prince turns human again after the princess violently throws him against the wall. But I guess it's for the kids to read more so than adults. Still worth getting. I'm still pleased.
A beautiful book especially for the price. I love that the intro includes some information on the brothers and short stories. There are 201 stories and 10 legends included in this book.
The book itself has gold pages, red and gold highlights on the front, embossing and a red ribbon bookmark.

Introduction by Ken Mondschein, PhD
Translation by Margaret Hunt
It's a nice enough book, but I'm afraid I don't like the translation. The most glaring example is that, in the story of Rapunzel, all that is said to let Rapunzel's hair down is "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair." I remember as a child reading a second line "that I may climb the golden stair." I have confirmed on Google search that my memory is correct, which means this translation is deficient. I felt like other stories were very dry, sterile. I think this must be because all the stories have less than full translations.
I would appreciate it if someone could recommend another version with better translations of the stories. Waiting and ready to order another.
The book came on time & looks exactly as shown. It has many tales I did t realize existed. I bought this to use while writing a report on the gruesome truth behind the tales we love. These are NOT books for children. As an adult I appreciate the original stories. However, there are still fairly watered down from the true original tales. As I was using this in my works cited I found I had to search for more sources seeing how this book wasn’t true originals.
has merged reviews of multiple editions, here.
This cloth hardcover volume is 8.1 x 10.1 INCHES, 320 PAGES, with 27 STORIES (versus the flexcover 5.4 x 7.7 INCHES, 192 PAGES, 14 STORIES The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm that, at roughly 1/3rd the price and practically identical-looking in online images, people mistake for being the same!).
It is as durable as it is displayable -- as complete as any "coffee table" book of Grimms' most popular classics could be, with page after page of brilliant illustrations by esteemed artists (whose biographies are provided). That's Taschen its books are worth every (*pretty*) penny.
I cannot speak to this translation versus other English ones (note the cover is not in German as displays), but there is a Translator's Note at the end. An index, too. And at the beginning, an introduction to Grimms', for the uninitiated.
Beautifully presented and told, it is an anthology for all ages to cherish.
I don't know if this is unique to the version, but this edition is truly a travesty.
I bought it a while ago and have been reading the stories whenever I get some free time. From the start I had the feeling that these stories were a little "off". The brothers Grimm are known to be somewhat somber, I get that, but they also portray humor and subtle nuances in their writing. However, this English version reads as if it had been stripped of any wit before publication.
A few days ago, I finally discovered the main problem the translation is just awful. I really didn't want to believe it, I truly wanted to think this book was a faithful representation of the original stories, and it was just a case of me not "getting it". Then I read the story titled "Clever Hans" and it was such a bizarre experience, that I had to look up how come it ended the way it did. That's when I discovered this gem, which is illustrative of the problem that affects the whole book. If you go to Wikipedia and read the plot of "Clever Hans", you learn the premise of the tale, how it is supposed to be humorous and the ending should read something like
"And that's how Hans lost his bride."
However, after reading this book's version of the tale, it read like a bad story, not humorous at all, and it ended with the line
"Then Grethel became angry, tore herself loose and ran away, and became the bride of Hans."
Clearly, the translation went as far as to completely change the meaning of the punchline of the story. Now I know I have been reading a bad imitation of the Grimm brothers work all this time. Nothing left to do but to look for a better rendition of their work.
This is a seriously beautiful book. As a huge book lover, just looking at it and paging through it makes me happy. As you can see from the pictures, it comes with gold dipped pages and a red ribbon book marker. My boyfriend commented that it looks just like a Bible.
