A review by pwbalto
Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm by Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm

5.0

This is the real deal – a new edition of the 1823 English translation of the tales transcribed by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm from old folks all over Germany. Devotion and treachery, dancing princesses and enchanted frogs – the basis of so much of our popular culture, and a little decapitated kid sitting by the door with his head tied on with a hanky!

This is a natural to go with Adam Gidwitz’s Tale Dark and Grimm books, the third of which, The Grimm Conclusion, is now available.
