About the book

Grimm's Folk Tales presents traditional stories collected and published by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. The tales include magical transformations, enchanted forests, wicked stepmothers, clever children and supernatural dangers. Often darker than later adaptations, the stories preserve important elements of European oral folklore and have had an enormous influence on children's literature and popular culture.
