Summary
Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales collects more than two hundred tales set down by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the early decades of the nineteenth century， among them some of the best-loved and most famous fairy tales in all literature: 'Little Red Riding Hood，' 'Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs'， 'Cinderella'， 'Sleeping Beauty'， 'Rapunzel'， 'Rumpelstiltskin' and 'Tom Thumb'。 Derived from folk tales that had been part of the oral storytelling tradition for centuries， these stories are acknowledged as literary landmarks that transcend their time and culture。 This edition also features ten rarely seen 'Children's Legends' and the full-colour artwork of Arthur Rackham。 Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales is one of Barnes & Noble's Leatherbound classics。 Each volume features authoritative texts by the world's greatest authors in an exquisitely designed bonded-leather binding， with distinctive gilt edging and a silk-ribbon bookmark。 Decorative， durable， and collectible， these books offer hours of pleasure to readers young and old and are an indispensable cornerstone for every home library。

Rereading from childhood - these are more Aesop's Fable-ish than I recall; pretty certain that the lessons in the stories sailed right over at the time。 Also， begging the pun: far more grim than my hazy memories， spun into gold by time and Disney sanitizing。 Never realized how thoroughly Disney pulled the teeth on these until this decades-later revisit。 Still awesome， but most would make excellent horror movies。。。 Rereading from childhood - these are more Aesop's Fable-ish than I recall; pretty certain that the lessons in the stories sailed right over at the time。 Also， begging the pun: far more grim than my hazy memories， spun into gold by time and Disney sanitizing。 Never realized how thoroughly Disney pulled the teeth on these until this decades-later revisit。 Still awesome， but most would make excellent horror movies。。。 。。。more

I loved all the stories。 They gave me so much nostalgia of my childhood。 And they reminded me so much of The Land of Stories。 If I had the choice to jump into a book， it would totally be this one！ I love the originality of the stories。 The fact that they're the originals written but the actual Grimm Brothers is so magical。 Loved it！ I loved all the stories。 They gave me so much nostalgia of my childhood。 And they reminded me so much of The Land of Stories。 If I had the choice to jump into a book， it would totally be this one！ I love the originality of the stories。 The fact that they're the originals written but the actual Grimm Brothers is so magical。 Loved it！ 。。。more

I'm resigned to feeling differently about my childhood favourites now。 I do realize that what I've read when I was young were either edited or abridged versions。 And regarding Grimm's Fairy Tales， I think what I've read before is only a collection of fairy tales， which is heavily edited and rewritten， and not the complete compilation。 I would have been in for a shock， had I not known the history pertaining to these writings。 The knowledge that they weren't originally intended as children's tales I'm resigned to feeling differently about my childhood favourites now。 I do realize that what I've read when I was young were either edited or abridged versions。 And regarding Grimm's Fairy Tales， I think what I've read before is only a collection of fairy tales， which is heavily edited and rewritten， and not the complete compilation。 I would have been in for a shock， had I not known the history pertaining to these writings。 The knowledge that they weren't originally intended as children's tales and that it was only an attempt to study and preserve German folklore by the Grimm brothers helped me overlook certain prejudices and cruelties that filled many of these tales。 My rating here is the overall average of 210 tales which I rated separately。 It shows that many of the tales have been ordinary。 There were only a small number of original stories and many were repetitions。 Some had no meaning as stories and were boring to death。 I only enjoyed about a quarter of the tales， and those were the popular ones。 While reading this complete edition， I also read a few from the first volume of the original tales written by the Grimm brothers， and I must say that I liked the direct and somewhat unpolished tales more than the later rewritten refined ones。 I have a mind to read the whole volume sometime later， for I feel I'll enjoy it more。 Frankly， I enjoyed only about a quarter of the tales out of this complete collection。 But I'm not disappointed。 Those I enjoyed were the ones truly etched in my memory from childhood。 It was nice revisiting them， for they certainly took me years back to the happier days。 。。。more

Niente di che。 Alcune fiabe sono proprio assurde e forse meritavano l'oblio， altre sono assemblaggi di storie precedenti。 Da leggere senza pretese。 Niente di che。 Alcune fiabe sono proprio assurde e forse meritavano l'oblio， altre sono assemblaggi di storie precedenti。 Da leggere senza pretese。 。。。more

Studied this in German， and the course turned out to be really awesome。 The story behind the collection of these stories is just as interesting。

I listened to this book， mostly with my kids， and forgot just how gruesome some of these stories are。 My kids were flabbergasted at some of the big differences in these stories verses the Disney versions they’ve watched。 It was something to help pass the time doing chores and my kids enjoyed it。 The readers were great as there is a different reader for each story。

Ooooh， este libro lo compré como regalo de cumpleaños， demoró un poco en llegar， pero valió la pena。Me encantó la forma tan sencilla y directa de contar， sin tantos rodeos。Además que algunos cuentos me sorprendieron porque distan mucho de los que tenemos arraigados en nuestra mente。

Hard to say what I feel about this book。 I really enjoyed it but it was repetitive， but in a good way。 Will definitely delve back into it at some stage。

After reading these stories as an adult， it is difficult to understand why or how they became classified as "intended for children。" I believe even a middle schooler would have difficulty understanding most of the language， and I believe that a lot of the descriptions， characters， and vocabulary would be lost with younger readers。 "The Complete Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales" is an anthology of folktales collected from oral narratives by the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm。 These stories， although After reading these stories as an adult， it is difficult to understand why or how they became classified as "intended for children。" I believe even a middle schooler would have difficulty understanding most of the language， and I believe that a lot of the descriptions， characters， and vocabulary would be lost with younger readers。 "The Complete Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales" is an anthology of folktales collected from oral narratives by the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm。 These stories， although entertaining， were almost all cautionary tales told to warn children or teach important morals。 The modern retellings of stories like "Cinderella" and "Little Red Riding Hood" are much different and child-friendly than the Grimm brothers' original stories and perhaps for that reason have come to replace the originals that were published centuries ago as the narratives of choice in many American households。 Although the language is outdated and the stories are extremely gruesome， the narratives are still quite well told。 As with all folktales， "The Complete Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales" is meant to be retold。 As teachers read it and uncover the morals told here， they can retell it to their students in a way that is more appropriate and understandable。 。。。more

¿Qué diablos tenían en la cabeza los hermanos Grimm？ Esa es la pregunta con la que me quedo al terminar este compilado de cuentos。No me malinterpreten， sabía que no eran iguales a las historias que todos conocemos tan popularizadas por Disney， pero a veces me sorprendía lo ridículas que eran y lo preocupante de su narrativa。La cantidad de gente muerta de manera horrible， de matrimonios solo con verse e implementos mágicos es increíble。 Sin embargo， sentí que mi hijo de 6 años cuenta historias mu ¿Qué diablos tenían en la cabeza los hermanos Grimm？ Esa es la pregunta con la que me quedo al terminar este compilado de cuentos。No me malinterpreten， sabía que no eran iguales a las historias que todos conocemos tan popularizadas por Disney， pero a veces me sorprendía lo ridículas que eran y lo preocupante de su narrativa。La cantidad de gente muerta de manera horrible， de matrimonios solo con verse e implementos mágicos es increíble。 Sin embargo， sentí que mi hijo de 6 años cuenta historias muy similares （sin tanta violencia）， pero con mucho más sentido。 Me molesta de tremenda manera lo abrupto de los finales y que constantemente haya tenido que repetirme "magia" como respuesta a cada cosa sin sentido， inconclusa o extraña （inclusive para la narrativa） que sucediera。 Me quedo con la valoración de la historia original， lo importante que es conocerla， para poder terminar en algo positivo。 。。。more

Fue difícil escribir la reseña de este libro。 Nunca me había mentalizado en leer la historia real de aquellas películas disney o cuentos de infancia con los que uno creció。 Me imaginé que sería diferente， que quizás me decepcionaria o llegarían a ser un poco más terroríficos， pero me encontré con cuentos que la verdad， me dejaban perpleja en cada página。 En algunos， no encontraba el sentido o la enseñanza de leerlo， en otras ocasiones la historia llegaba a ser demasiado rápida y con muchas situa Fue difícil escribir la reseña de este libro。 Nunca me había mentalizado en leer la historia real de aquellas películas disney o cuentos de infancia con los que uno creció。 Me imaginé que sería diferente， que quizás me decepcionaria o llegarían a ser un poco más terroríficos， pero me encontré con cuentos que la verdad， me dejaban perpleja en cada página。 En algunos， no encontraba el sentido o la enseñanza de leerlo， en otras ocasiones la historia llegaba a ser demasiado rápida y con muchas situaciones que no alcanzaba a seguir el hilo y tuve que leer de nuevo para entender。 Si bien no todos fueron desarrollados con extraña circunstancia， debo decir que la mayoría de ellos se guiaban de un patrón similar: personajes tontos， apuesto príncipe hechizado， violencia， entre otros temas que la verdad no daban para ser catalogados como lectura infantil。2。5 estrellas。 。。。more

Pretty atrocious。 Racist， anti-semitic， anti-woman， anti-man （given said man is a peasant rather than a king）。 Also blasphemous， treating God not much different than a fairy there to grant wishes。

The tales make no sense at all。。。 they are oddly creepy， reading it makes you feel like those confusing dreams， that are for some reason scary。 They are really weird tales， and I can’t help but say don’t waist your time on a book like this。 And this is a children’s book， I don’t know what kid would ever want to finish this。 The books are either weirdly long or annoyingly short！ WEIRD BOOK。

Ok， so this was partially a nostalgia-inducing read。 Can't believe so many of the stories I had encountered in my childhood are from the Grimm Brothers' collection。 This compilation has many popular favourites in their original complete form。 Some of the stories are absolutely beautiful while others are really gruesome。 I had heard that the cruelty and violence in original versions of some of the tales led to the Grimms eventually sanitising them。 So this book really made me wonder how much dark Ok， so this was partially a nostalgia-inducing read。 Can't believe so many of the stories I had encountered in my childhood are from the Grimm Brothers' collection。 This compilation has many popular favourites in their original complete form。 Some of the stories are absolutely beautiful while others are really gruesome。 I had heard that the cruelty and violence in original versions of some of the tales led to the Grimms eventually sanitising them。 So this book really made me wonder how much darker or gorier the original folk tales would have been。 Of course， the stories are really imaginative and do hold your attention。 For a collection that is more than 200 years old， it's a big achievement to be remembered and read even when the world has changed so much since its original publication。 Then again， the problem with the stories remains the same today as it was originally: most of the stories are chauvinistic。 The female characters hardly ever have a voice of their own， their only purpose in life is to be married off， and those women who do speak their mind are evil witches or vamps。 So this isn't a collection that has adapted to the mentality of the 21st century。 Read it only for a glimpse back into your childhood and nothing else。 This is a just-for-fun nostalgic experience， no morals or life lessons to be found here。***********************Join me on the Facebook group， Readers Forever！， for more reviews， book-related discussions and fun。Follow me on Instagram: RoshReviews 。。。more
