Grimm's
Grimmest
Murder, kidnapping, cruel and unusual punishment,
violent revenge these are not the bedtime stories mummy used to
read. Newly reissued with a fresh cover, Grimm's Grimmest presents
nineteen original, unsanitized, wholly unholy tales as they were
first collected by the Brothers Grimm circa 1822 all
fiendishly illustrated. The tales harken back to a time when
travelers risked roasting or worse, and bad manners yielded
frightful consequences. An insightful introduction makes sense of
the mayhem, shedding light on how the Grimm brothers went from
macabre to mainstream in fairly short order. From the true horror
of Aschenputtel (the original Cinderella story) to Rapunzel's
dark secret, Grimm's Grimmest features the authentic stories born
long ago in the land of the Black Forest, at a time when fairy
tales never ended happily ever after
The
Stories of Hans Christian Andersen A New Translation from the
Danish
This new collection -- returning faithfully to the
original Danish -- takes
Andersen out of the nursery and places him squarely in the
literary
pantheon.
While Hans Christian Andersen's tales continue to seize
the imagination with their singular blend of simplicity,
eccentricity, and charm, readers have had to content themselves
with inaccurate retellings and inadequate translations. Now Diana
Crone Frank, a Danish novelist and linguist, and Jeffrey Frank, a
novelist and editor at The New Yorker, offer a much-needed modern
translation, brought out by Andersen's original American
publisher.
In this collection are twenty-two tales that best represent
Andersen's literary legacy. Here are the classics: "The Little
Mermaid," "The Ugly Duckling," "Thumbelisa,"
and "The Princess on the Pea" among them, as well as
largely unfamiliar stories like "By the Outermost Sea."
Illuminating notes clarify references in the stories. And in an
extended introductory essay, the Franks explore the writer and his
times, placing the enigmatic and often bizarre figure of Andersen
among his literary contemporaries, such as Charles Dickens and
Sren Kierkegaard, with whom he crossed paths.
Illustrated with the delicate and beautiful drawings that
accompanied the
original Danish publication, The Stories of Hans Christian
Andersen is sure
to delight readers of all ages.
