By Anthea Bell and Henriette Sauvant.
This is a great collection of classic fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault, faithfully reproduced in their earliest written versions with dazzling illustrations. "The Goose Girl," "The Bremen Town Band," "Puss in Boots," "Cinderella," Jack and the Beanstalk," "The Drummer," "Rapunzel" and more (a total of 14 tales), are all here and retain the remarkably vivid and sometimes strange quality that characterizes the original tales. Authentic and affecting, this book is startling, dramatic and otherworldly. An attractive edition with decorative frames on the text pages.
