The
Complete Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm by Jack Zipes (Translator), et al
Book Description: Perhaps no other stories possess as much power
to enchant, delight, and surprise as those penned by the immortal Brothers
Grimm. Now, in the new, expanded third edition, renowned scholar and folklorist
Jack Zipes has translated all 250 tales collected and published by Jacob
and Wilhelm Grimm, plus twenty-nine rare tales omitted from the original
German edition, as well as narratives uncovered in the brothers' letters
and papers. Truly the most comprehensive translation to date, this critically
acclaimed edition recaptures the fairy tales as the Brothers Grimm intended
them to be: rich, stark, spiced with humor and violence, resonant with
folklore and song.
One of the world's experts on children's literature, Jack Zipes is a
professor of German at the University of Minnesota and is the author of
numerous books on folklore and fairy tales.
