Illustrated Grimm's Fairy Tales (Usborne Illustrated Story Collections)

Product Information

Everyone knows the Grimm's stories, from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty. The pre-loved books are carefully cleaned and maintained offering a wide variety of general and specialist titles from children's to adults. In fact, Pullman himself notes this in the introduction, remarking on the flatness of the Grimms’ characters and the two-dimensional, cardboard-cutout-like illustrations of the early editions, which served as mere decoration and did little to enhance the storytelling experience. Shortly after the release of Philip Pullman’s retelling of the Grimm classics, which was published unillustrated in the UK and the US, a publisher approached Australian artist and author Shaun Tan — creator of such modern masterpieces as The Lost Thing and The Arrival — about creating a cover and possibly some internal artwork for a German edition of Pullman’s fifty tales.

Her delicate ink-drawing vignettes — intended to invoke the magical cut-paper sculptures for which Dezsö is known — illuminate scenes from the Grimms’ tales through an extraordinary interplay of darkness and light, both of color and of concept.

Das Buch ist an und für sich gut, aber für Kinder absolut ungeeignet: keine Illustrationen, schwarz-weiß, die Sprache ist auch sehr gehoben, eher was für erwachsene Muttersprachler, die aus irgendeinem Grund Märchen lesen möchten. Is a much needed book in this age of chaos when children rule over parents and women over their husbands. Here are beloved characters, including Snowdrop (Snow White), Briar Rose (Sleeping Beauty), Ashputtel (Cinderella), Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, Rumpelstiltskin, The Elves and The Shoemaker, all reimagined by the brilliant award-winning designers at MinaLima. Two hundred years ago, the Brothers Grimm published their famous collection of folk tales, including these thirty much-loved stories of helpful elves: giants who can see into the next land: foolish but good-hearted leads: princesses with golden hair: faithful servants and wicked queens. This sumptuously illustrated collection of essential Grimm's classics includes stories every childhood needs: The Princess and the Frog, Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Rumpelstiltskin and dozens more.

If payment is made using a credit card, your credit card account is debited in conjunction with the conclusion of the contract. In the early 1970s, Edward Gorey — creator of grim alphabets, quirky children’s books, naughty treats for grown-ups, and little-known vintage covers for literary classics — brought his aesthetic of the irreverent fancy to Little Red Riding Hood and Rumpelstiltskin. In her exquisite take on Little Red Riding Hood ( public library), German illustrator and graphic designer Sybille Schenker blends the beauty of delicate papercraft with the Grimms’ original starkness of sensibility to produce something unusual and utterly beguiling — something partway between Kevin Stanton’s die-cut illustrations for Romeo and Juliet and the East-West masterpiece I Saw a Peacock with a Fiery Tail, yet something wholly original. Featuring a fascinating introduction by Val McDermid and new illustrations by Juan Esteban Rodríguez, each copy has been signed by both the introducer and the illustrator.

The following year, she set out to translate and illustrate Tales from Grimm ( public library) — a remarkable fusion of Gág’s own peasant heritage and her masterful skills as a fine artist. Charmed Life arrives in an explosion of magic in this edition illustrated by Alison Bryant and introduced by Katherine Rundell.
