"For a long time, Jack Zipes has explored fairy tale territory with an unstoppable love and prodigious energy. Now, in this complete translation of the first two editions of the Grimms' famous tales, Zipes has redrawn the map we thought we knew, and the Brothers' stories are made wonderfully strange again. This new and indispensable volume is beautifully presented." --Marina Warner, author of Stranger Magic: Charmed States and the Arabian Nights, "What a treat these stories are, presented to readers now with [Jack Zipes'] masterful translations. The tales are, in turn, moving, brutal, and always unequivocally plainspoken, a refreshing thing to read after so many edited versions. The book also includes exquisite black-and-white cut-paper illustrations from visual artist Andrea Dezsö." --Julie Danielson, Kirkus, As nature, admittedly sharp in tooth, claw and thorn, intended. ---James Kidd, South China Morning Post, One of Choice 's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2015 One of The Independent 's Best Books of 2014 One of South China Morning Post 's Best Books of 2014 One of The Globe and Mail 75 Book Ideas for Christmas 2014, "[ The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm: The Complete First Edition ] tempts like the devil to read the tales again, gasp at their brazen heroes, and wander their forest paths." ---Willis Goth Regier, World Literature Today, "We might wonder what the Brothers Grimm would think of [the] evolution of their oeuvre, which was originally, quite frankly, pretty grim. . . . Consider these examples, from [this] English translation of the first edition by the Brothers Grimm--and perhaps don't share them with your children at bedtime." ---Victoria Marston, Country Life Magazine, [T]he new Zipes translation of the first edition, with all its notes and annotations, is a must, a treasure for anyone with a serious interest in fairy tales, the motifs of which linger perpetually in the collective mind. ---Carmel Bird, Sydney Morning Herald, "A far more unsettling, exhilarating, oral and adult encounter than you might expect of 'fairy stories.'" --Arifa Akbar, Independent, "[T]hese unexpurgated Grimms' stories are really for older readers who want to delve into the strange stuff that is German folk tales. Deszö's black and white cut-paper illustrations convey a world in which boundaries between the practical and improbable are as fluid and shifting as a dream. 'The miraculous makes self-evident what is wrong with the real world,' writes Zipes in his learned, accessible introduction, and that's as good a key as any by which to enter this extraordinary territory." --Deirdre Baker, Toronto Star, "This collection contains many of the most-loved fairy tales in the history of the form. . . . The book is a classic, formed like a mosaic of precious small pieces, each one glinting with its own color and character, glass and crystalline, but somehow hard, unyielding." ---Marina Warner, New York Review of Books, With Disney's adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's fairy tale mash-up musical Into the Woods finding a wide, wide-smiling reception at the box office, it's the perfect time to consider the source: Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm's dark and stormy tales. . . . Andrea Dezsö's illustrations--black-and-white, woodcut-like silhouettes--add the right note of eerie timelessness to these wondrous, wondrously strange yarns. ---Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer, "Magnificent . . . what makes this newly released original volume especially enchanting are the breathtaking illustrations by Romanian-born artist Andrea Dezsö." ---Maria Popova, Brain Pickings, Jack Zipes's new translation of the original two volumes of the Grimm Brothers' fairy tales is a revelation. . . . I know I'll be going back to this book, time and again in the years to come. ---Benjamin Read, Books To Look For, "Never before published in English, the first edition of the Brothers Grimms' tales reveals an unsanitised version of the stories that have been told at bedtime for more than 200 years. . . . His version of the original 156 stories . . . shows a very different side to the well-known tales, as well as including some gruesome new additions." --Alison Flood, The Guardian, [T]hese unexpurgated Grimms' stories are really for older readers who want to delve into the strange stuff that is German folk tales.

If not a replacement for whatever illustrated fairy tale collection you had as a child, it's certainly a valuable addition to the library of a fairytale-loving child or adult., Zipes has produced the inaugural English translation of the two original volumes in a gutsy, robust style--warts-and-all. ---Marguerite Johnson, The Conversation, "Thoroughly engaging, Zipes' translations into colloquial American English breathe life into these stories. Award-winning artist Andrea Dezsö's cut-paper black and white illustrations capture the essence of this strange and enchanting world that will entice fans of mystical realms and those interested in better understanding the Grimms' enduring influence on literature." --Barbara Basbanes Richter, Fine Books & Collections, "Accepted as probably the world's greatest authority on the Grimms and fairy tales in general, Zipes is well qualified to redress the common perception of the brothers' published works." ---Kevin Murphy, Magonia, "Never before published in English, the first edition of the Brothers Grimms' tales reveals an unsanitised version of the stories that have been told at bedtime for more than 200 years. . . .

The illustrations by Andrea Dezsö--stark, simple, and beautiful--are an additional treat. ---Jeana Jorgensen, Journal of Folklore Research, "Thoroughly engaging, Zipes' translations into colloquial American English breathe life into these stories.

He has also worked fervently as a translator across a wide swath of German, French, and Italian literature from the medieval tales to modernist experimental fiction.

Synopsis

The original version of the Grimms' tales in English for the first time--in an acclaimed, illustrated edition When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's and Household Tales in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel," "Hansel and Gretel," and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. Yet few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the two early volumes, since in the next four decades the Grimms would publish six other editions, each extensively revised in content and style. For the very first time, The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm makes available in English all 156 stories from the 1812 and 1815 editions. These narrative gems, newly translated and brought together in one beautiful book, are accompanied by sumptuous new illustrations from award-winning artist Andrea Dezsö. From "The Frog King" to "The Golden Key," wondrous worlds unfold--heroes and heroines are rewarded, weaker animals triumph over the strong, and simple bumpkins prove themselves not so simple after all. Esteemed fairy tale scholar Jack Zipes offers accessible translations that retain the spare description and engaging storytelling style of the originals. Indeed, this is what makes the tales from the 1812 and 1815 editions unique--they reflect diverse voices, rooted in oral traditions, that are absent from the Grimms' later, more embellished collections of tales. Zipes's introduction gives important historical context, and the book includes the Grimms' prefaces and notes. A delight to read, The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm presents these peerless stories to a whole new generation of readers., The original vision of Grimms' tales in English for the first time When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children's and Household Tales in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as Rapunzel , Hansel and Gretel , and Cinderella would become the most celebrated in the world.
