‘Little Tales from Grimm’ contains a delightful collection of
stories from the Brothers Grimm – all re-told for children. It
contains eleven shortened versions of the tales, including ‘The Frog
Prince’, ‘Rapunzel’, ‘Snow White’, ‘The Goose Girl’,
‘Hansel and Gretel’, ‘The Valiant Little Tailor’, and 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.Anne
Anderson (1874 – 1930) was a prolific Scottish illustrator,
primarily known for her art nouveaux children’s book illustrations.
Characteristic of her work are decorative and lightly drawn or painted
illustrations, depicting neatly dressed children, carefully dressed,
with angelic pear-shaped faces. She also painted, etched and designed
many greetings cards, with her illustrations appearing near the end of
the Edwardian era. Presented alongside the text of ‘Little Tales
from Grimm’, her drawings 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.
