Two centuries ago, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their first volume of fairy tales. Since then, such stories as âCinderella,â âSnow White,â âRapunzel,â and âHansel and Gretelâ have become deeply woven into the Western imagination. Now Philip Pullman, the New York Times bestselling author of the His Dark Materials trilogy, makes us fall in love all over again with the immortal tales of the Brothers Grimm.
Here are Pullmanâs fifty favoritesâa wide-ranging selection that includes the most popular stories as well as lesser-known treasures like âThe Three Snake Leaves,â âGodfather Death,â and âThe Girl with No Handsââalongside his personal commentaries on each storyâs sources, variations, and everlasting appeal. Suffused with romance and villainy, danger and wit, Pullmanâs beguiling retellings will cast a spell on readers of all ages.
