Product Description
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. “The best modern translation of the complete Brothers Grimm.”--Choice
Customer Reviews
I have been using this book in my classroom, 1st, 2nd, 4th grades over the years, since 2008. The kids love to hear the stories that I read. You do need to read them first, some can be gory, just so you are prepared. I always started off with a little History lesson, and explain that the stories from this book were from long, long ago, for grown-ups after the kids went to sleep. They were told by storytellers that went from village to village, and were a form of entertainment. The story may sound familiar, but it is not the story that Disney tells. The all-time favorite is the Cinderella story, Ashputtle.
