folktales, this wonderful compendium would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf, and it is not to be missed by the discerning collector. Jacob Grimm (1785 - 1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786 - 1859) were German linguists, lexicographers, academics, and authors. Together, they are famous worldwide for collecting and publishing folklore during the nineteenth century. The stories of this collection include: “The Frog Prince”, “The Gallant Tailor”, “The Giant and the Tailor”, “The Little Farmer”, “The Golden Key”, “Sharing Joy and Sorrow”, “The Nail”, “Tom Thumb”, “Tom Thumb’s Travels”, “The Young Giant”, “Sweet Porridge”, “The Elves”, and many more. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
