Most Popular Books by Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm

They saw their work in gathering the fairy tales of Europe as an academic exercise, but the Brothers Grimm-aka German folklorists and linguists JAKOB (1785-1863) and WILHELM GRIMM (1786-1859)-are today remembered best as tellers of dark stories for children. Here, in one compact volume, are 53 of the most beloved of the stories they assembled, from well-known ones such as "The Sleeping Beauty," "The Frog Prince," "Rapunzel," and "Hansel and Grethel" to more obscure ones including "The Rabbit''s Bride," "Six Soldiers of Fortune," "Faithful John," and "The Three Spinsters." A treasury of classic stories, this replica of an 1886 edition-translated by English writer LUCY CRANE (1842-1882), with beautiful line drawings by her brother, William Crane-will delight children and adults alike.

Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm and Wilhelm Carl Grimm, born in 1785 and 1786 respectively, spent years in collecting folk tales. They published Children’s and Household Tales in 1812, a collection which came to be known as ‘Grimm’s Fairy Tales’. It included some of the world’s most famous stories, like Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel and Rumpelstiltskin. The brothers’ motivation behind collecting fairy tales was a determination to preserve German folktales. Today, their stories are loved and read in more than 160 languages. Real Kids Adventure brings a short collection of some of the most amazing fairy tales collected by the two brothers illustrated and engagingly narrated, each and every story in the book is unique.
