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 Dezs.  From \"The Frog King\" to \"The Golden Key \" wondrous worlds unfoldheroes 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 uniquethey reflect diverse voices  rooted in oral traditions  that are absent from the Grimms later  more embellished collections of tales. Zipess 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945498964021,"sku":"ByrdShop_0691160597","price":36.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780691160597_12c40cd6-1aca-486b-9cae-8d2ca1496405.jpg?v=1771907712","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-original-folk-and-fairy-tales-of-the-brothers-grimm-the-complete-first-edition","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
