Enter a world of enchantment and wonder with Grimms' Fairy Tales a collection of timeless stories that have captivated generations of readers. Within the pages of this beloved collection you will encounter familiar tales like "Cinderella" "Snow White" and "Hansel and Gretel" as well as lesser-known gems that will ignite your imagination and stir your heart. From the triumphs of brave and resourceful protagonists to the lessons learned from encounters with cunning tricksters each story holds its own unique magic and moral lessons. "It was perhaps just the right time to record these tales since those people who should be preserving them are becoming more and more scarce. . . Wherever the tales still exist they continue to live in such a way that nobody ponders whether they are good or bad poetic or crude. People know them and love them because they have simply absorbed them in a habitual way. And they take pleasure in them without having any reason. This is exactly why the custom of storytelling is so marvelous."  -Grimm 1812
