They are the stories we've known since we were children. Rapunzel. Hansel and Gretel. Cinderella. Sleeping Beauty. But the works originally collected by the Brothers Grimm in the early 1800s are not necessarily the versions we heard before bedtime. They're darker and often don't end very happily--but they're often far more interesting.
This elegant edition of Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales includes all our cherished favorites--Snow White, Rumpelstiltskin, Little Red Cap, and many more--in their original versions. With specially designed end papers, a genuine leather cover, and other enhancements, it's the perfect gift for anyone looking to build a complete home library.
Many of these tales begin with the familiar refrain of “once upon a time”--but they end with something unexpected and fascinating!

The book's comprehensive compilation of tales is simply delightful. From the familiar stories of Cinderella, Snow White, and Little Red Riding Hood to lesser-known gems like Rumpelstiltskin and The Frog Prince, the collection offers a rich and diverse tapestry of narratives that have stood the test of time. Each story is thoughtfully presented, preserving the authenticity of the original Grimm brothers' versions while still remaining accessible to modern readers.
One of the highlights of this edition is the meticulous attention to detail in both the storytelling and illustrations. The vivid and evocative imagery transports readers to far-off lands, immersing them in the whimsical worlds of witches, talking animals, and noble princes. The accompanying illustrations beautifully complement the tales, capturing the essence of the characters and their fantastical adventures.
What sets Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales apart is its ability to resonate with readers of all ages. Young readers will delight in the magical escapades, while older ones will appreciate the timeless wisdom and moral lessons embedded within each tale. These stories serve as a reminder of the human experience, teaching us about resilience, kindness, and the consequences of our actions.
While some of the stories might contain darker elements or moral complexities, they add depth to the collection and prompt meaningful discussions on human nature and the complexities of life.
The book's sturdy hardcover and high-quality paper ensure its durability for generations to come. It's a treasure that can be passed down as a cherished family heirloom, fostering a love for storytelling and folklore among younger readers.
In conclusion, Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales is an enchanting anthology that rekindles the magic of classic folklore. Its enduring tales, combined with captivating illustrations, make it an ideal choice for readers of all ages. Whether read aloud to children or enjoyed in solitary moments of reflection, this book continues to captivate the imagination and remains a beloved classic that should be a part of every bookshelf.
Reviewed in the United States on May 5, 2024
The book is leather-bound with gorgeous deep burgundy leather and subdued, embossed cover art in two shades of red that continues onto the back cover of the book. The spine of the book would fit into a 200-year-old library if it did not look so clean and undamaged. The page edges are guided gold, and the pages are a light, antique cream color that adds to the book's aesthetics without detracting from the text's readability. Text size is fairly standard and easily readable, line spacing is very nice and readable, and a pleasingly wide margin surrounds all sides of the text. The book includes a roughly .25" wide bright red ribbon bookmark.
Note: The book actually looks much better in person than the Amazon listing's art would lead you to believe. I don't know why the picture on amazon has a large red circular blob on the front of the cover. The actual book looks a bit more subdued, and overall much better.
I hate it when a book looks old, only to have the illusion shattered by a giant "Penguin" or such publisher's logo on the spine or back cover, or a conspicuously white barcode and ISBN number in the middle of the back cover. I was pleased that this book's barcode and isbn info were printed on an easily removable sticker applied to the back cover of the book. With the sticker removed, the book would look at home in the classiest of libraries (the publisher's logo was tasteful adapted into a simple gold-embossed monogram "CC" that was seamlessly matched with the rest of the spine's text).
On top of the book aesthetic features, Grimm's Fairy Tales are an excellent read for children and adults alike. I appreciated that this book contained simply the stories, without page and pages of bulky appendices, editor's notes, and other features that clutter the book without adding anything I would actually use. The book is 652 pages of 201 stories and 10 legends, with only a brief introduction at the beginning. Perfect.
Overall, this book is stunning, and will probably be the most impressive book in most buyers' libraries. If I had paid $44.99 for this book, I still would not have felt ripped off, but at a price of around $16.00 this book is an incredible deal. Of all my purchases on Amazon, this ranks highly among my best.
