Grimm's Grimmest by Jacob Grimm

Grimm's Grimmest are not your typical bedtime stories. Drawing on the original German stories, this book presents 19 of the darkest and most dramatic tales collected by the Grimm Brothers. Some of these tales are recognizable, but contain elements that have long since been removed. From the true horror of Aschenputtel (the original Cinderella story) to Rapunzel's dark secret, here are the authentic stories born in the land of the Black Forest, at a time when fairy tales weren't necessarily for children, 14 long stories each open with a glorious colour oil painting commissioned especially for this book. Five shorter stories feature a black and white opening illustration. All stories are further illustrated with black and white spot art throughout.
