Grimm's Fairy Tales (Arcturus Slipcased Classics, 10)

This illustrated collection of the classic fairy tales collected by the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm and translated by Margaret Hunt. Several illustrations by the famous Arthur Rackham accompany the text. The fairy tales included range from the ever-popular 'Cinderella' and 'Snow White' to the morbid 'Hansel and Gretel' and the fantastic 'King Thrushbeard'. Containing morality lessons while often maintaining a darker side than most children's stories, these fairy tales make excellent reading for both children and adults.
