This collection of ‘Grimm’s Fairy Tales’ contains forty-four of
their best known stories, beautifully illustrated throughout by Monro
Orr. It includes the narratives of ‘The Golden Bird’, ‘Tom
Thumb’, ‘Snow White’, ‘Hansel and Gretel’, ‘The Valiant
Little Tailor, ‘Rumpelstiltskin’, ‘Cinderella’, ‘The Elves
and the Shoemaker’, and many more.The Brothers Grimm are perhaps the
best known folklorists of all time. 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. This is a text to be
appreciated by young and old alike; extraordinary for its literary as
well as artistic significance.Originally published in 1932, this
edition of the ‘Grimm’s Fairy Tales’ is accompanied by the
intricate yet highly striking, colour and pen-and-ink illustrations of
Monro Orr – a lesser known though immensely skilled Golden Age
illustrator. Pook Press celebrates the great ‘Golden Age of
Illustration‘ in children’s literature – a period of
unparalleled excellence in book illustration from the 1880s to the
1930s. Our collection showcases classic fairy tales, children’s
stories, and the work of some of the most celebrated artists,
illustrators and authors.
