No library's complete without the classics! This new edition collects the legendary fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. They are the stories we've known since we were children. Rapunzel. Hansel and Gretel. Cinderella. Sleeping Beauty. But the works originally collected by the Brothers Grimm in the early 1800s are not necessarily the versions we heard before bedtime. They're darker and often don't end very happily--but they're often far more interesting. This edition of Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales includes all our cherished favorites--Snow White, Rumpelstiltskin, Little Red Cap, and many more--in their original versions. Many of these tales begin with the familiar refrain of “once upon a time”--but they end with something unexpected and fascinating!

"Contos de Grimm" são uma coletânea e adaptação de Monteiro Lobato das histórias infantis que foram encontradas e organizadas pelos dois irmãos alemães Jacob Grimm (1785) e Wilhelm Grimm (1786). Esse é o primeiro livro em língua portuguesa da pesquisa dos irmãos Grimm, que renderam diversas adaptações em animações e filmes, como ‘Rapunzel’, ‘Cinderela’, ‘Chapeuzinho Vermelho’ e ‘Branca de Neve’. Os irmãos Jacob Grimm (1785) e Wilhelm Grimm (1786) nasceram em Hanau, Alemanha. Os dois eram pesquisadores e se colocaram na tarefa de viajar por diversas regiões para reunir contos populares narrados oralmente e preservar o folclore alemão. As histórias foram publicadas em 1812 e 1815 em dois tomos, com o título de ‘Contos Maravilhosos Infantis e Domésticos’. Anos depois, diversos desses contos seriam transformados em filmes por Walt Disney, como ‘Rapunzel’, ‘Cinderela’, ‘Chapeuzinho Vermelho’ e ‘Branca de Neve’.
The stories of magic and myth gathered by the Brothers Grimm have become part of the way children—and adults—learn about the vagaries of the real world. Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow-White, Hänsel and Gretel, Little Red-Cap (Little Red Riding Hood), and Briar-Rose (Sleeping Beauty) are only a few of the more than two hundred enchanting characters included in this volume. The tales are presented just as Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm originally set them down: bold, primal, just frightening enough, and endlessly engaging.
