Best Selling Books by The Brothers Grimm

The Brothers Grimm passed a century of classics and adventurous fantasy fairy tales. Only by learning the wisdom of adaptability, can they show the courage to stay in danger! Next to a forest, there lived a couple of very poor woodcutters and siblings. The brother was named Hansel and the younger sister was named Gretel. In order to prevent the family of four from starving to death, the stepmother and father discussed that they would take the children to the forest and throw them away. For the first time, his brother Hansel left a small stone on the way to the forest and was able to find his way home. The second time I was not so lucky. My brother was unable to go out to pick up rocks, so he had to use the remaining bread to tear into pieces as a mark.

Once upon a time, two brothers wished to preserve their German folklore in a collection of tales that they believed had been handed down for generations. When they began in 1812 they had just 86 stories that rather harshly reflected the difficult life of European peasantry. Subsequent editions would grow to hold over 200 tales. As time passed, the Brothers Grimm found that their collection of fairy tales, with all of its royalty, magical creatures, and brave adventures, entranced those who read them. This compilation of fairy tales which includes the complete canon of over 200 tales has become a beloved set of classical stories the world over. Presented here in this edition is the faithful translation of Margaret Hunt.

Every day she would stand in front of her magic mirror and say, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful one of all?" The mirror always answered that the queen was the most beautiful of all. But one day it answered that Snow White was the most beautiful one of all. The jealous queen ordered a huntsman to take Snow White to the forest to have her killed. The huntsman, feeling sorry for the poor princess, abandoned her in the forest and brought back a wild boar''s heart to prove to the queen that he had murdered the princess.
