Book Synopsis
For readers of all ages, two hundred and ten tales of the Brothers Grimm, including Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and Hansel and Gretel, translated by Ralph Manheim, the highly acclaimed and prize-winning translator. Manheim has rediscovered in the original German Grimms’ editions of the tales the unadorned, direct rhythm of the oral form in which they were first recorded. He has retained their ageless magic and mythology and restored the extraordinary vitality and wit, the acute perceptions of human strength and facility mirrored in the facets of these small gems.
