| Book Description | This is a compendium of the Brothers Grimm's most beloved fairy tales, newly translated and accompanied by an array of vintage illustrations. This book brings together twenty-seven of the most beloved of the famous Grimms' fairy tales, including all the classics, such as `Cinderella`, `Snow White`, `Sleeping Beauty`, and `Hansel and Gretel` in an all-new translation specially commissioned for this publication. Containing a painstakingly-researched selection of illustrations by some of the most famous illustrators from the 1820s to the 1950s-including golden age legend Kay Nielsen, bestselling author Gustaf Tenggren, British darlings Walter Crane and Arthur Rackham, and giants of nineteenth century German illustration Gustav Sus, Heinrich Leutemann, and Viktor Paul Mohn, as well as many new discoveries-this compilation also includes beautiful silhouettes culled from original publications from the 1870s and 1920s that run throughout the entire layout. Interlaced in the book are also dozens of entirely new silhouettes designed and created especially for this book. In addition to the tales, the book also includes an introduction to the Grimms' legacy, brief introductory texts for each tale, and extended artists' biographies in the appendix. For adults and children alike, this classic addition to any library brings to life the never-ending magic of the Grimms' fairy tales and their delightful illustrations. The following fairy tales are featured in the book: `The Frog Prince`; `The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats`; `Little Brother and Little Sister`; `Rapunzel`; `Hansel and Gretel`; `The Fisherman and His Wife`; `The Brave Little Tailor`; `Cinderella`; `Mother Holle`; `Little Red Riding Hood`; `The Bremen Town Musicians`; `The Devil with Three Golden Hairs`; `The Shoemaker and the Elves`; `Tom Thumb's Travels`; `Sleeping Beauty`; `Snow White`; `Rumpelstiltskin`; `The Three Feathers`; `The Golden Goose`; `Jorinde and Joringel`; `The Goose Girl`; `The Twelve Dancing Princesses`; `The Star Coins`; `Snow White and Red Nose`; `The Hare and the Hedgehog`; `Puss n' Boots`; and, `The Golden Key`. |
| Editorial Review | ...a truly bewitching coffee-table tome. "The perfect addition to any nursery library, it will have readers and listeners spellbound." "This gloriously illustrated collection, TASCHEN's first children's book, includes lesser-known tales like 'Little Brother and Little Sister' and 'The Devil With the Three Golden Hairs' along with the favorites... Best are the timeless illustrations, mostly European, gleaned from previously published work from the 1820s to the 1950s. The stories, if not all their characters, live happily ever after." |
| About the Author | Brothers Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786-1859) were German academics and linguists who spent years collecting popular fairy tales and folk tales. Their resulting compilation of over 200 stories Kinder- und Hausmarchen (Children's and household tales) is one of the most famous collections of tales in the world, influencing generations of writers, artists, academics, composers, filmmakers, and animators. TASCHEN editor Noel Daniel graduated from Princeton University, and studied in Berlin on a Fulbright Scholarship. She received a master's in London and was the director of a photography art gallery before becoming a book editor. Her TASCHEN books include Magic 1400s-1950s (2009) and The Circus 1870-1950 (2008). Matthew R. Price has translated for leading theaters and publications in Germany and the US. A graduate of Princeton University, he studied in Berlin on a DAAD Fellowship, receiving his masters from the University of the Arts. After an early career producing theater, he earned an M.B.A. from Columbia University and lives in New York City. |
