Description

The Story of Hansel and Gretel - & Other Tales By The Brothers Grimm is a fantastic collection of stories, decorated with Arthur Rackham's splendid illustrations.

Included, are such well-known and loved stories as 'The Frog Prince', 'Hansel and Gretel', 'The Valiant Little Tailor', 'Cinderella', 'Snow White', and 'Rumpelstiltskin'. The Brothers Grimm (or Die Brüder 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 Brothers Grimm’s Fairy Tales is accompanied throughout by 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 enchanting narratives.
