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.Included:The Golden BirdHans In LuckJorinda And JorindelThe Travelling MusiciansOld SultanThe Straw, The Coal, And The BeanBriar RoseThe Dog And The SparrowThe Twelve Dancing PrincessesThe Fisherman And His WifeThe Willow-Wren And The BearThe Frog-PrinceCat And Mouse In PartnershipThe Goose-GirlThe Adventures Of Chanticleer And PartletRapunzelFundevogelThe Valiant Little TailorHansel And GretelThe Mouse, The Bird, And The SausageMother HolleLittle Red-Cap [Little Red Riding Hood]The Robber BridegroomTom ThumbRumpelstiltskinClever GretelThe Old Man And His GrandsonThe Little PeasantFrederick And CatherineSweetheart RolandSnowdropThe PinkClever ElsieThe Miser In The BushAshputtelThe White SnakeThe Wolf And The Seven Little KidsThe Queen BeeThe Elves And The ShoemakerThe Juniper-TreeThe TurnipClever HansThe Three LangUagesThe Fox And The CatThe Four Clever BrothersLily And The LionThe Fox And The HorseThe Blue LightThe RavenThe Golden GooseThe Water Of LifeThe Twelve HuntsmenThe King Of The Golden MountainDoctor KnowallThe Seven RavensThe Wedding Of Mrs FoxThe SaladThe Story Of The Youth Who Went Forth To Learn What Fear WasKing Grisly-BeardIRON HANSCAT-SKINSNOW-WHITE AND ROSE -RED
