The Brothers Grimm are perhaps the best known folklorists of all time.
This collection, ‘The Fairy Tales of Grimm’ brings together some
of their best known and loved tales, such as: ‘Hansel and Gretel’,
‘The Valiant Little Tailor’, ‘Rapunzel’, ‘Snow White’,
‘The Frog Prince’ and ‘The Golden Goose’. The Brothers Grimm
(or Die Brüder Grimm), Jacob (1785–1863) and Wilhelm Grimm
(1786–1859), were German academics, linguists, cultural researchers,
lexicographers and authors – who together specialized in collecting
and publishing folklore during the nineteenth century. The popularity
of their collected tales has endured well; they have been translated
into more than 100 languages, and remain in print in the present
day.These timeless stories are accompanied by the dazzling colour and
black and white illustrations of Anne Anderson (1874 – 1930).
Anderson was a prolific Scottish illustrator, primarily known for her
art nouveaux children’s book illustrations. She also painted, etched
and designed many greetings cards, with her illustrations appearing
near the end of the Edwardian era. Presented alongside the text, her
illustrations further refine and elucidate the Brothers Grimm’s
masterful storytelling.Pook Press celebrates the great ‘Golden Age
of Illustration‘ in children’s classics and fairy tales – a
period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration. We publish
rare and vintage Golden Age illustrated books, in high-quality colour
editions, so that the masterful artwork and story-telling can continue
to delight both young and old.
