Big book Alot of the other customers are right, I just got the book and the pages are very very thin and the book itself probably wont last long if you dont take care of it.. It is however alot pigger than I thought. And one person said the stories dont make sense from the translations, thats not true. i would recomend this book if you cannot find it else where.
WOW!!!! Beautiful!! (...and then some!) This book is not only asthetically pleasing, with its richly colored and textured cover and gilt pages; but each and every story reflects the wonder and imagination that draws us all to fairy tales....
Inside the Grimm's are at their finest, and pulling no punches. This may be where Disney found Cinderella, Snow White and so on - but they are NOT the watered down versions we have seen in cartoons. Must be appreciated for the purity of the stories, NOT recommended if you are looking for warm, fuzzy, cute-sy tales for the babes.
Excellent Collection I bought this book for my niece because I grew up on the Brothers Grimm so I thought she should have access to it as well. This is one of the most complete collections of these fairy tales that I have ever seen. Very good if you have kids & want them to experience all of the real German folk tales as well as the Disney versions. I would highly recommend it.
GREAT!! I was very pleased with the book purchase. My book was shipped quickly during the holiday season. Thanks
Font size The Grimm fairytales are great but I would have wanted to know the size of the font prior to purchasing. I feel that the print size should have been larger. It makes it hard to keep focus when reading.
