About this title

Review:

'Among the few indispensable, common-property books upon which Western culture can be founded ... it is hardly too much to say that these tales rank next to the Bible in importance.' - W.H. Auden

Synopsis:

Within these covers you will find every one of the 210 tales collected by the brothers Grimm. These were stories kept alive by German peasants, the legacy of a vibrant oral tradition, passed down from generation to generation and often preserving hints of a mythology dating back to pre-Christian times.
