This collection of ‘Grimm’s Fairy Tales’ contains a fabulous
selection of fifty-two classic Brothers Grimm Tales. It includes the
narratives of ‘Hansel and Gretel’, ‘Rumpeltstiltskin’,
‘Ashputtel’, ‘Tom Thumb’, ‘The Robber Bridegroom’ and many
more. The stories have all been profusely illustrated with
black-and-white, and colour plates – by a master of the Golden Age
of Illustration; Helen Stratton. Stratton was an artist and
illustrator, born in India, who lived and worked in London and Glasgow
– working in the Art Nouveaux style.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.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.
