George Cruikshank

Linguists, philologists, and restorers of ancient texts, the Brothers Grimm practically invented the science of folklore with the publication of Kinder-und Hausmarchen (1812-1815), which became popularly known as Grimm's Fairy Tales. Comprising 120 of their best-loved tales, this new Barnes & Noble Classics edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales includes criticism, reception, discussion questions, and legacies, to appeal to readers of all ages.

A collection of fifty-five traditional tales collected by the Grimm brothers features the original black-and-white illustrations by George Cruikshank plus new color illustrations by noted contemporary illustrators.
