Who hasn't heard of the Brothers Grimm and their fairy tales? They died long ago but their tales are still being rehashed, reprinted and admired. This book is a tribute to them of sorts and the sculpture shown within really adds to the themes and concepts of the stories.
Arthur A Levine Books and Edelweiss allowed me to read this book for review (thank you). It will be published October 11th.
There is a bit of history of the brothers and their publishing successes and failures. Then the book moves into the fairy tales. There's a synopsis of each story and, in most cases, a photo of a sculpture that highlights the story line. As you can see from the cover, the artwork is striking.
I've been reading Grimms' tales for years and I still found a couple mentioned that I didn't recognize. Think you know them all? Check out this book and see.
If you collect Grimm books, you need to get this one. It is a quick reference book as well as a different way to view the stories. It's a worthwhile look at work that has existed long beyond the authors.
