The stories of magic and myth gathered by the Brothers Grimm have become part of the way children—and adults—learn about the vagaries of the real world. Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow-White, Hänsel and Gretel, Little Red-Cap (Little Red Riding Hood), and Briar-Rose (Sleeping Beauty) are only a few of the more than two hundred enchanting characters included in this volume. The tales are presented just as Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm originally set them down: bold, primal, just frightening enough, and endlessly engaging.

With black-and-white illustrations throughout
Illustrated by Josef Schari / Commentary by Joseph Campbell

Praise for The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales

"Everyone should possess and know Grimm's Fairy Tales--one of the great books of the world--and no English-speaking person could do better than this edition." --Richard Adams, The New York Times Book Review

"It is hardly too much to say that these tales rank next to the Bible in importance . . . It will be a mistake if this volume is merely bought for a child. It should be, first and foremost, an educational 'must' for adults." --W. H. Auden, The New York Times

"Here it is, clear and fine and solid, beautifully and passionately illustrated, this one
book--other than the Bible--that has truly made Western man." -- P. L. Travers, The New Republic

"Splendid edition, admirably illustrated." --Edmund Wilson, The New Yorker
