collected by the Brothers Grimm is perhaps the most faithful translation from the German ever done, and the 114 lavish illustrations are some of the finest in any volume of childrens' literature. The 52 classic tales include "Rumpelstiltskin," "Rapunzel," "Hansel and Gretel," "The Fisherman and his Wife," "Snow White," "Tom Thumb," "Sleeping Beauty," "Cinderella," and many more, all in their dark, haunting, original form.
