Book Overview

by Brothers Grimm (Author), Ada Dennis (Illustrator)

Grimm's Fairy Tales - Illustrated by Ada Dennis is a wonderful collection of classic fairy tales including 'Little Snow White', 'Rapunzel', 'Hop-O'-My-Thumb', 'The Three Little Men in the Wood', 'Snow White and Rose Red', 'Clever Grethel', 'The Giants Three Golden Hairs', and many more. It is translated by L. L. Weedon, and the stories are accompanied by the black-and-white illustrations of Ada Dennis, E. Stuart Hardy, E. Nister, Arch Webb, G. H. Thompson, and others - with the illustrations appearing alongside the text, so that the two may be better appreciated. 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. This is a text to be appreciated by young and old alike; extraordinary for its literary as well as artistic significance. Pook Press celebrates the great 'Golden Age of Illustration' in children's literature - a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration from the 1880s to the 1930s. Our collection showcases classic fairy tales, children's stories, and the work of some of the most celebrated artists, illustrators and authors.

About Brothers Grimm

The Brothers Grimm, Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm (1786-1859), were born in Hanau, near Frankfurt, in the German state of Hesse. Throughout their lives they remained close friends, and both studied law at Marburg University. Jacob was a pioneer in the study of German philology, and although Wilhelm's work was hampered by poor health the brothers collaborated in the creation of a German dictionary, not completed until a century after their deaths. But they were best (and universally) known for the collection of over two hundred folk tales they made from oral sources and published in two volumes of "Nursery and Household Tales" in 1812 and 1814. Although their intention was to preserve such material as part of German cultural and literary history, and their collection was first published with scholarly notes and no illustration, the tales soon came into the possession of young readers. This was in part due to Edgar Taylor, who made the first English translation in 1823, selecting about fifty stories "with the amusement of some young friends principally in view." They have been an essential ingredient of children's reading ever since.
