The stories of magic and myth gathered by the Brothers Grimm have become part of the way children–and adults–learn about the vagaries of the real world. Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow-White, Hnsel and Gretel, Little Red-Cap (Little Red Riding Hood), and Briar-Rose (Sleeping Beauty) are only a few of the more than two hundred enchanting characters included in this volume. The tales are presented just as Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm originally set them down: bold, primal, just frightening enough, and endlessly engaging.
