The Complete Collection of Grimm Brothers' Fairy Tales in One Volume

My stepmother killed me, My father ate me. My dear little sister Collected my bones, Tied them in a scarf And laid them beneath the tree. Chivik, chivik! What a glorious bird am I! ("The Juniper Tree", Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm) For the first time in Russia: the complete collection of fairy tales collected by the Brothers Grimm, in an unadapted version for adults! Many well-known fairy tales actually do not end happily in their original versions. In reality, the Brothers Grimm wrote their works for adults, so the plots of the unadapted versions of "Cinderella," "Snow White," and many other children's fairy tales could easily serve as the basis for a modern horror film script. Cinderella's stepsisters cut off part of their feet to fit into the glass slipper, the prince from the Rapunzel tale blinds himself with thorns, and the "kind" parents of Hansel and Gretel cut off their children's hands and feet. You have never read such tales before... This edition presents for the first time all of the original Grimm brothers' collection, including the darkest and most frightening stories: 200 fairy tales and 10 legends. This gift edition in a large format is complemented by classic engravings by F. Grot-Johann and R. Leinweber. The unique binding with a cord, gilded edges, and thick tinted paper.
