description: It is said the Brothers Grimm opened up a world of goodwill with their stories, where heroes and heroines are truly rewarded, where giants and dwarfs and birds and animals are their friends. It is said, also, that Arthur Rackham has kept the fairy world alive for generations of children with his art. Here is a splendid combination of the two -- the best loved Grimms' fairy tales, adorned by an artist who was a master of fantasy.Arthur Rackham's illustrations for the Brothers Grimm brought him lasting fame. From the beautiful to the bizarre, from the weird to the wonderful, his fine line drawings are striking portrayals of the Grimm stories. This beautiful edition presents sixty stories and over sixty-five of Rackham's illustrations, including sixteen full-color plates.Timeless as entertainment, this is a story-time treasury for young and old alike.1 The Golden Bird2 Hans in Luck3 Jorinda and Joringel4 The Bremen Town Musicians5 Old Sultan6 The Straw, the Coal, and the Bean7 Briar Rose8 the Dog and the Sparrow9 The Twelve Dancing Princesses10 The Fisherman and His Wife11 The Wren and the Bear12 The Frog Prince13 The Cat and Mouse in Partnership14 The Goosegirl15 The Adventures of Chanticleer and Partlet16 Rapunzel17 Fundevogel18 The Valiant Trailor19 Hansel and Grethel20 The Mouse, the Bird, and the Sausage21 Mother Hulda22 Red Riding Hood23 The Robber Bridegroom24 Tom Thumb25 Rumpelstiltskin26 Clever Grethel27 The Old Man and His Grandson28 The Little Peasant29 Fred and Kate30 Sweetheart Roland31 Snowdrop32 The Pink33 Clever Elsa34 The Man Among the Thorns35 Ashenputtel36 The White Snake37 The Wolf and the Seven Kids38 The Queen Bee39 The Elves and the Shoemaker40 The Wolf and the Man41 The Turnip42 Clever Hans43 The Three Languages44 The Fox and the Cat45 The Four Clever Brothers46 The Lady and the Lion47 The Fox and the Horse48 The Blue Light49 The Raven50 The Golden Goose51 The Water of Life52 The Twelve Huntsmen53 The King of the Golden Mountain54 Doctor Know-All55 The Seven Ravens56 The Marriage of Mrs. Reynard57 The Salad58 The Youth Who Could Not Shudder59 King Thrushbeard60 Iron Hans
