TRANSLATED, INTRODUCED AND ANNOTATED BY JACK ZIPES

Wolves and grandmothers, the seven dwarfs, a goose made of gold...the folk tales collected by the Grimm brothers created an astonishingly influential imaginative world. However, this is also a world where a woman cooks her stepson and an evil queen dances to death in a pair of burning shoes. Violent, funny, disturbing and wise, these stories have intrigued both children and adults for generations.

The only complete edition available, this collection features the 279 stories in an acclaimed, modern, unexpurgated translation.
