Selected Tales (Brothers Grimm) (Penguin Classics)
The book that afforded me deepest pleasure is 'Selected Tales' by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm (trans Joyce Crick). What a joy to meet Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel and Ashypet again in these sparkling new versions. Paul Bailey, The Independent  terrific new edition...forcefully translated and brilliantly analysed, by Joyce Crick. The Independent  Joyce Crick, a fine scholar of German literature, has set out here to rescue Grimm's Tales both from children and folklorists and to help us see it as a major work of literature... she has done a magnificent job, and both she and OUP are to be congratulated.
