Celebrate the 200th birthday of the Brothers Grimm
stories with this lavish volume now richly expanded for a
new generation.
Publication of the Grimms’
Children’s Stories and Household Tales in 1812
brought the great European oral folk tradition into print
for the first time. The Annotated Brothers Grimm
returns in a deluxe and augmented 200th-anniversary
edition commemorating that landmark event. Adding to such
favorites as “Cinderella,” “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Snow
White,” and “Rapunzel,” Maria Tatar includes six new
entries, among them “Four Clever Brothers,” “The Water of
Life,” “The White Snake,” and “The Old Man and His
Grandson.” The expanded edition features an enhanced
selection of illustrations, many in color, by legendary
artists such as George Cruikshank and Arthur Rackham;
annotations that explore the historical origins, cultural
context, and psychological effects of the tales; and a
biographical essay on Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. A perennial
favorite in the acclaimed Norton Annotated series, this
magnificent volume will draw both children and adults into
the enchanting world of fairy tales.
