Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Enchanting, brimming with the wonder and magic of  Once Upon A Time, the fairy tales  of the Brothers Grimm are the special stories of  childhood that stay with us throughout our lives.  But most Americans know them only secondhand, in  adaptations that greatly reduce the tales' power to  touch our emotions and intrigue our imaginations.  Now, in the most comprehensive translation to  date, here are the classic fairy tales as the Bothers  Grimm intended them to be--rich, stark, spiced  with humor and violence, resonant with the rhythms of  folklore and song. Volume II contains 142  unabridged tales, including such bedtime favorites as  "Snow White and Rose Red" and "The  Worn-Out Dancing Shoes," as well as 32 little-known  tales that the Brothers Grimm omitted during the  course of their many revisions. These wonderful  tales of life, passion, and make-believe appeal not  only to children--who unabashedly love them--but  to readers of any age.
