Originally titled Children’s and Household Tales, The Complete Grimm’s Fairy Tales contains the essential bedtime stories for children worldwide for the better part of two centuries. The Brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm, were German linguists and cultural researchers who gathered legendary folklore and aimed to collect the stories exactly as they heard them. 2012 marked the 200th anniversary of Grimm’s Fairy Tales, and what better way to celebrate than to include all 211 stories into the Knickerbocker Classic Series? Featuring all your favorite classics, including “Hansel and Gretel,” “Cinderella,” “The Frog Prince,” “Rapunzel,” “Snow White,” “Rumpelstiltskin,” and dozens more, The Complete Grimm’s Fairy Tales is also accompanied by 40 color plates and 60 black and white illustrations from award-winning English illustrator Arthur Rackham, whose books and prints are now highly sought-after collectibles. The third title in the Knickerbocker Classic series has 800 pages of classic fairy tales to enjoy and will also feature a full-cloth binding, ribbon marker, and will fit neatly in an elegant slipcase for your personal library collection.

I think this is an absolutely important book for everyone to read. The story tropes are important for appreciation of other later works in all forms of entertainment. So why did I give it three stars?Because so many of the stories in here are not ones that you have heard before, and for good reason, they are either boring, a copy of an earlier story in the same work (there about seven stories of Clever So-and-So that all follow nearly the same story path), or dont really teach anything. Also,Even though I like some of the Disney movies they're mostly watered down and fluffy versions of these incredibly imaginative, dark and grim folk tales that the brothers Grimm collected. Even though not all the tales are interesting I would happily get this to my bookshelf anyway.And finally, I would like to thank you my Finnish teacher who introduced the morbid world of the Grimms to my class when we were 13. She read the most memorable fairy tales to us under a red lamp and it made me travel
I wish I could review each and every story in this individually, but there are soooo many. All I can say is that this has given me quite a few story ideas and its also given me quite a lot of laughter... along with probably scarring me for life, as well. :P Some of those stories are creepy!And if anyone writes a fairytale retelling of The Straw, The Coal, and The Bean... let me know, because that will be HILARIOUS. ;)
It came to me in 3 green leather covered books. I still regret not persuading the librarian to remove them from the shelves cos they are too old.. They would've happily walked home with me.However, lets get to the point. I'm a sucker for fairy tales, give me one any day, I'm a happy woman. Give me 200, you won't hear from me for a while. I'll be walking in a dreamland with all the characters doing all the horrible things that happens in fairy tales. When I read them as an adult, I realized how
Its hard to rate a book when they are filled with multiple stories where some are bad and some are good, hence why it has received a 3 starsI only really read the stories that I were interested in reading. Most of them, after a certain point, I didn't read.The ones that I did read I enjoyed.

I'm going to put a star next to the stories I enjoyed the most. ★ < like this. The Frog Prince: (view spoiler)[I don't see how the princess GOT the kind prince in the first place... I mean she just throws him at the wall (she physically abuse a frog, well what she thought of as a frog. But still !!), she didn't show any kindness what so ever. Everything she did that was 'kind' to him was because her father forced her to do so. I don't know what the moral of this story is.Be unkind and be
