Originally collected from German peasantry in the early 1800’s, Grimm’s Fairy Tales are known and adored the world over: Hansel and Grethel, Snow White, Red Riding Hood and the Sleeping Beauty are all part of everyone’s childhood.  Their numerous iterations in fiction, theatre and latterly in cinema and cartoon formats have made them even more widely appreciated, but all such spin-offs have altered or edited the original tales, sometimes beyond recognition.

This new Aziloth edition re-unites the reader with Grimm’s original characters. We meet the true Snow-White and Sleeping Beauty, and come face to face with cruel stepmothers, strange beasts and jealous queens in full-blooded tales of danger, wickedness and shining virtue. Children are naturally attracted to such powerful parables which, while delighting their young minds with magic spells, wizards and giants, effortlessly teach them invaluable life lessons distilled from generations past.  As Professor Joseph Campbell so aptly said " The folk tale is the picture-language of the soul”.

All 209 tales from the original publication are included, plus 10 ‘Children’s Legends’, and the book’s appeal is further enhanced with 29 illustrations by the incomparable Arthur Rackham, 23 of which are full page spreads.  

“Hansel and Gretel” is a classic fairy tale about a brother and sister abandoned in a forest and encountering a witch.

The story emphasizes themes of survival, resourcefulness, and sibling love.

“The Frog Prince,” also known as “The Frog King, or Iron Henry,” is a German fairy tale. It was collected by the Brothers Grimm and is the first story in their collection of “Children’s and Household Tales,” published in 1812. The tale has captivated audiences for many years, offering moral lessons about keeping promises, looking beyond appearances, and the power of love and perseverance.

A beautiful, but spoiled, princess often played with her golden ball by a well in the woods. One day, she dropped the ball into the well and began to cry. A voice offered to retrieve her ball if she promised to be its companion, eat from her plate, drink from her cup, and sleep in her bed. The princess agreed, hoping to break the promise to a mere frog.

The frog was a prince under a wicked witch’s spell. The princess, relieved to have her ball back, ran back to the castle, forgetting her promise. The next day, the frog arrived at the castle, reminding the princess of her promise. The princess was forced by her father, the King, to keep her word, emphasizing the importance of honor.
