Item Description
A friend of the Shelter has donated two of the all-time favorites of Children's story telling books:
1. The Fairy Tales of The Brothers Grimm -
From Snow White to Cinderella, Rapunzel to Rumpelstiltskin, the Brothers Grimm bequeathed a canon of stories which have become literary and childhood classics. The most widely read story collection after the Bible, their magical tales are stalwarts of early learning and imagination, listed in UNESCO's Memory of the World Register as a vital part of our history and culture.
This beautiful hardback anthology is based on the Grimm's popular 1857 edition and features 27 of their best-loved stories in a vibrant and meticulous new translation commissioned for this publication. The tales are accompanied by exquisite vintage illustrations from the past 200 years, including masterpieces from the legendary Kay Nielsen, British artists Walter Crane and Arthur Rackham, and giants of 19th-century German illustration Gustav Süs, Heinrich Leutemann, and Viktor Paul Mohn. Additional historic and contemporary silhouettes dance across the pages like delicate black paper lace.
2. The Fairy Tales of Hans Christian Anderson -
Discover an exciting new compilation of Hans Christian Andersen’s world-famous fairy tales, a return to childhood with the whole family in mind. The collection features 23 classic stories, vintage illustrations from artists such as Kay Nielsen and Lotte Reiniger, artist biographies, and silhouettes specially commissioned for this edition which bind all the magic together.
