Synopsis

It is said the Brothers Grimm opened up a world of goodwill with their stories, where heroes and heroines are truly rewarded, where giants and dwarfs and birds and animals are their friends. It is said, also, that Arthur Rackham has kept the fairy world alive for generations of children with his art. Here is a splendid combination of the two -- the best loved Grimms' fairy tales, adorned by an artist who was a master of fantasy.

Arthur Rackham's illustrations for the Brothers Grimm brought him lasting fame. From the beautiful to the bizarre, from the weird to the wonderful, his fine line drawings are striking portrayals of the Grimm stories. This beautiful edition presents sixty stories and over sixty-five of Rackham's illustrations, including sixteen full-color plates.

Timeless as entertainment, this is a story-time treasury for young and old alike.
