Product Description:
In these fairy stories, the Brothers Grimm conjure up a world of fantasy, hope and good fortune where the princess meets and marries the right prince (even if he was once a frog), and the cruel witch, the arrogant wife and the greedy wolf get their come-uppance.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Wonderful storytelling
This book is full of spellbinding fairy tales with charming illustrations. Absolutely not the Disney version--some parts are not for the squeamish. This was one of my favorite books from childhood and I wish it was still in print.
Rating: - Timeless
I was given this translation 20 years ago as a child, and it is still as timeless and entertaining today as it was then. I will pass the book on to my own children, with my blessing. The tales are well-translated and carefully walk the line without being too violent or explicit for young children, while still being enchanting for older children. Furthermore, all traces of racism have been purged from this translation, a change that I find welcome in my Grimms' translations.
Rating: - Fun!
Great to hear the original, pre-Disney, versions of these classic tales. Definitely a dark and even violent undercurrent that runs through them, but that makes the arrival into the light all the more satisfying. As usual, Naxos does a fine job. A journey back to childhood when dreams still hovered in the corner of your eye.
Rating:  - AUDIO CD REVIEW
Tha actress reading the stories does a very good job. Unfortunatly this CD version of the stories is very abriged, just the bare bones. The choice of predominatly russian music for German folk tales is a bit odd. Still this is the only version I have experianced so it's the best I know of.
Rating: - BEAUTIFUL BOOK BUT NOT BABY -PRESCHOOL
THIS IS A LOVELY BOOK WITH CREAM COLORED PAGES, A RIBBON AND WONDERFUL ILLUSTRATIONS. IT IS NOT HOWEVER "BABY PRESCHOOL"
It is for older readers. Nice translation from the German.
