No library´s complete without the classics! This new, enhanced leather-bound edition collects the legendary fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm.

They are the stories we´ve known since we were children. Rapunzel . Hansel and Gretel . Cinderella . Sleeping Beauty . But the works originally collected by the Brothers Grimm in the early 1800s are not necessarily the versions we heard before bedtime. They´re darker and often don´t end very happily--but they´re often far more interesting.

This elegant edition of Grimm´s Complete Fairy Tales includes all our cherished favorites--Snow White , Rumpelstiltskin , Little Red Cap , and many more--in their original versions. With specially designed end papers, a genuine leather cover, and other enhancements, it´s the perfect gift for anyone looking to build a complete home library.

Many of these tales begin with the familiar refrain of "once upon a time"--but they end with something unexpected and fascinating!
