GRIMMS FAIRY TALES (WORDSWORTH COLLECTORS) (HB)

Jacob Grimm and his brother Wilhelm were philologists and folklorists. The brothers rediscovered a host of fairy tales, telling of princes and princesses in their castles, witches in their towers and forests, of giants and dwarfs, of fabulous animals and dark deeds. Together with the well-known tales of Rapunzel, The Goose-Girl, Sleeping Beauty, Hansel and Gretel, and Snow White, there are the darker tales such as Death's Messengers which deserve to be better known. These Collectors Edition compact hardbacks are ‘cloth-bound’ with matching coloured end papers and embossed gold lettering.
