The Annotated Brothers Grimm
A beautifully bound volume of the Grimm collection. With its side notes and explanations of what is going on in each tale, what better way to teach children the origin of these stories and gain a greater appreciation of its creation. This book is just that book to have on your library shelf. I am delighted to have it. (And I am well over 13 years of age.)

Timeless
I was given this translation 20 years ago as a child, and it is still as timeless and entertaining today as it was then. I will pass the book on to my own children, with my blessing. The tales are well-translated and carefully walk the line without being too violent or explicit for young children, while still being enchanting for older children. Furthermore, all traces of racism have been purged ...

WOW!!!! Beautiful!! (...and then some!)
This book is not only asthetically pleasing, with its richly colored and textured cover and gilt pages; but each and every story reflects the wonder and imagination that draws us all to fairy tales.... Inside the Grimm's are at their finest, and pulling no punches. This may be where Disney found Cinderella, Snow White and so on - but they are NOT the watered down versions we have seen in ...

Looking for the real deal? This is for you
If you are looking for the original Grimm's Fairy Tales in one volume, this is for you. Reading fairy tales in their original form takes one back to a much earlier time, back before they were written, when lives of children were in constant danger of being eaten by the many hungry adults who roamed Europe of the middle ages. I am a collector of Fairy Tales and folk myths. Many themes recur ...

Some animals were going to Bremen Town to be musicians. On the way they saw some robbers. They kicked them out and the animals never went to Bremen-Town. The donkey kicked the robber with his hind legs, that is why I liked the book.

The Grimm's Grimmest, Indeed!
If you're looking for a Disney version of your favorite fairy tales, you're not going to find it here. The Grimm's Grimmest is a fantastic compilation of some of the Brothers Grimm's darkest tales, as they were originally meant to be read. These tales illustrate a world where humans are suitable for consumption, sexuality knows no bounds, and two brothers let their imaginations run rampant. The ...

Grammar
The book could be even more interesting if efforts are made to modernise the grammar to the modern english spoken throughout the world.I wouldnt have bought this book if I knew it was written in the archaic version of the english language.

Delightful teamwork for my son and me
I think this "We Both Read" series is great. Whatever mood my boy is in when bedtime rolls around - whether he's working with me or against me - this concept works. I read the (difficult) left page in each two page spread, and the child reads the (easy) right. Teamwork. And even though these make no mention of Power Rangers or Batman Beyond, these are my boy's favorites. Along with some math ...

Grimm's Fairy Tales, 2008

The Brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm, were born in Hanau, near Frankfurt, in the German state of Hesse. Throughout their lives they remained close friends, and both studied law at Marburg University. Jacob was a pioneer in the study of German philology, and although Wilhelm's work was hampered by poor health the brothers collaborated in the creation of a German dictionary, not completed until a century after their deaths. But they were best ...

Barnes & Noble Classics, 2003

Once upon a time...
Unlike Hans Christian Anderson, the Brothers Grimm did not invent new fairy tales but collected old ones, with the intention of preserving the oral tradition of the German peasantry. Whether in fact they fulfilled that intention has been questioned. Their tales do afford a glimpse of a world of castles and forests, nobles and peasants, superstitious beliefs and primitive practices that suggest ...

Excellent Learning Tool
I am a German student of three years, and I got this book in hopes to improve my German skills. I think that this is absolutely the best book a German student can get. -A German-English Dictionary is not necessary to read this book -Most stories are well-known, so even a student that doesn't have strong skills in either language can generally understand the stories -On the left page is the ...
