Description During Books The Annotated Brothers Grimm

Publication of the Grimm's 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.

Even if one doesnt enjoy The Lord of the Rings movies, one must admit that a great deal of hard work and dedication was put in by a considerable number of people. This lengthy volume may lack the number of contributors but the hard work shows here as well. Some dude at the library was hogging the online catalog kiosk and the other two were down so I asked this old foreign library where I could find something by the Brothers Grimm. Perhaps, she was Germanic because she seemed rather pleased that

Once upon a time, I read selections of The Hard Facts of the Grimms' Fairy Tales by Maria Tatar for a folklore course. Back then, I was impressed by her scholarship, weaving a close reading of the stories with a sociologist's approach to Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm and the environment in which they collected, edited, and published the famous fairy tales.The same scholarship backs up The Annotated Brothers Grimm, but Tatar's text here -- limited as it must be to margin notes, introduction, and



This is required reading for anyone even remotely serious about fairy tales. Good for reading for pleasure--as an adult or to a child--and wonderful for scholarship. The main drawback is that it's not the complete tales, but the original editions of Kinder und Hausmarchen eventually accumulated so many stories that some started to seem like duplicates of each other, so this is a selective editing. What you really want that this edition has to offer is Maria Tatar's editing; the Harvard professor

I have a huge, hardbound copy of this tome out from the library right now. It's beautiful, and I wish I had a coffee table to display it on. On the downside, the book is uncomfortably large to hold and too big for the little book holder I have. I'm sitting at the dining room table to look at it. But I think the format only adds to its impressiveness. I doubt I will ever read the whole thing. I'm just dipping into it in spots. The annotations--the history and tales behind the stories--are the

To be honest I haven't read all of it but I read it last year and I am re-reading this is probably my favorite versions of fairy tales because, c'mon Disney, nobody is happy :) I love the gore and the realism and just everything about it is amazing!

3.5 starsMostly enjoyable fairytales, ranging from Cinderella to Little Red Riding Hood. It's amazing how the stories have been translated into well loved children's movies.Next time I read this, and I will, I will skip the annotations and notes before each story. Both took away from the experience.
