Tales

Classic stories collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm are presented in a translation edited by P. N. Polevoy, who carefully preserved the spirit of German folklore.

The edition is accompanied by illustrations by Arthur Rackham, which give the tales a special atmosphere. Dark and yet captivating images bring to life the plots of "Hansel and Gretel," "Little Red Riding Hood," "Thumbelina," and other stories. His style, full of mysticism and subtle grotesqueness, conveys the multifaceted world of German fairy tales with great accuracy.
