Description

The Brothers Grimm’s enduring fairy tales are brought to life for a new generation of readers in their original, uncut, uncensored form, in a lavish new edition by the master of the gothic macabre—bestselling illustrator Gris Grimly. The name 'Grimm' alone evokes images of the timeless fairy tales collected by brothers Jacob and Wilhelm in the early nineteenth century. These folktales have been told and retold in many forms over two centuries, with the mix of fantasy, adventure, and wonder enduring, while the terror, violence, and darkness of the original stories are often lost in translation. Gris Grimly, the modern master of gothic horror, has faithfully reproduced the original text of selected tales—including 'Rapunzel,' 'Hansel and Gretel,' and 'Little Red-Cap'—and adorned them with his own inimitable artwork. The result is a Grimm collection unlike any other, set in a world that is whimsically sinister, darkly vivid, and completely unforgettable. 'Gris Grimly’s Tales from the Brothers Grimm' is the definitive illustrated compendium of these classic stories for a new generation of readers.
