"Long ago, in a far away land named Germany lived the brothers Grimm - Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, to be exact. Together, in order to keep clothing on their backs and food on their table, the two began to produce books - dictionaries, German language books, and that for which they are most well known - folk tales that had been passed from generation to generation. It was over many years that the brothers' fascination for fairy tales developed. They sat and listened as great storytellers passed on tales that had survived the tests of famine, war, and time itself. Fortunately, they put those classic stories into wonderful collections loved by young and old alike. The stories selected for this lavishly illustrated edition of Grimm's Fairry Tales.transport you to magnificent kingdoms of days long gone, to the deepest corners of the forest and of your own imagination. They prove themselves as timeless by teaching the importance of honor, the pain of loss, and the strength of true love." - from the Preliminary Page.
