Description

The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm is fantastic collection of stories, decorated with Arthur Rackham's splendid illustrations. Included, are such well-known and loved stories as 'Briar Rose', 'The Frog Prince', 'Rapunzel', 'The Valiant Little Tailor', 'Hansel and Gretel', 'Little Red Riding Hood', 'The Robber Bridegroom', 'Tom Thumb', 'Aschenputtel', and many more.

The Brothers Grimm (or Die BrĂ¼der Grimm), Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786-1859), were German academics, linguists, cultural researchers, lexicographers and authors - who together specialized in collecting and publishing folklore during the nineteenth century. The popularity of their collected tales has endured well; they have been translated into more than 100 languages, and remain in print in the present day.

This edition of The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm contains a series of dazzling colour and black-and-white illustrations - by a master of the craft; Arthur Rackham (1867-1939). One of the most celebrated painters of the British Golden Age of Illustration (which encompassed the years from 1850 until the start of the First World War), Rackham's artistry is quite simply, unparalleled. Throughout his career, he developed a unique style, combining haunting humour with dream-like romance. Presented alongside the text, his illustrations further refine and elucidate the Brothers Grimm's tales.

Pook Press celebrates the great 'Golden Age of Illustration' in children's literature - a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration from the 1880s to the 1930s. Our collection showcases classic fairy tales, children's stories, and the work of some of the most celebrated artists, illustrators and authors.
