... which have left without any doubt an indelible mark on the Western cultures, a testament to the brilliance and skill of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm.Synopsis:"The classic fairy tales compiled by Jacob and Wilhelm, the Brothers Grimm (1812) are stories of dark wisdom with a bite. Not for the faint-hearted, not for the weak of spirit, not for anyone expecting childish fluff. Contained within these pages are fairy tales that show the dark beauty of truth, and the cold mirror of common sense, clad in the rich glamour of the imagination."But I only can recommend this oh so complete collection of more than 50 of the most known fables and fairy tales, but also minors aren't neglected.I - personally (a German) - have rarely seen a collection so complete and also well translated like this!OK - I loaded it down as a Freebie on March 01, 2013 - but whatever its cost may be - it is worth it!So - to all interested readers - have a very nice read and...pass those Fairy Tales along to Your little ones!Because they are worth it...
