First published in Germany in 1812, these tales were collected by the two brothers Grimm from neighbouring villages and spinning rooms, and include "Hansel and Gretel", "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and "Rumpelstiltskin". Arthur Rackham's illustrations were first published in 1900.

No children's library is complete without this beautiful Everyman's Library hardcover edition of the Brothers Grimm's original fairy tales.
Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, Tom Thumb, and Snow White (Snowdrop) are among the jewels we owe to the German Brothers Grimm, who began in the first decade of the 19th century to seek out and listen to village storytellers. The best-loved of the tales they discovered have inspired generations and are now brought together with the marvellous pictures that in 1900 first established the reputation of one of the greatest children's illustrators of all time, Arthur Rackham.


Beautiful illustrations in monochrome by Arthur Rackham make this collection of famous fairy stories a wonderful and timeless gift for children's and adults alike.
