What to expect

From Children’s and Household Tales (German: Kinder und Hausmärchen), Grimm’s Fairy Tales was first published in 1812 by the Grimm brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm. Although earlier editions included material deemed unpalatable to modern audiences, subsequent editions softened some of the violence and raciness of the original. Containing 62 stories, including “Briar Rose” (“Sleeping Beauty”), “Ashputtel” (“Cinderella”), “Hansel and Gretel,” and “Snow White and Rose Red,” this collection was praised by W.H. Auden as being among the founding works of Western culture.
