This was a better story, about a man who loves his betrothed so much he will find a way to save her no matter how long it takes. I only wish that the story continued on and see if he saved the rest of the seven thousand. I very much enjoyed this tale. It’s the same as the Snow White that we know but this talks about the tale of two sisters who are very close and did everything together. I liked how the story focuses on their character and personalities rather than their beauty or about the “bad guys’ motives”. One of my favourites so far. are the most cunning of all animals, you shall be general and lead us.’‘Good,’ said the fox, ‘but what signal shall we agree upon?’ No one knew As I have often found with illustrated books of folk and fairy tales, the actual text is very much the poor relation. Here at least there is one illustration per story, inserted in the story itself, rather than randomly. Yet the size of the book, and the cramped feel of the text does not invite one to read each story. The font size is very small, and the translators are not credited. It seems as if this is a book produced primarily for the artworks.

Very moving and touching tale.To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the tales in 1973, exactly a decade after Where the Wild Things Are transformed Maurice Sendak from an insecure young artist into a household name, FSG invited the 45-year-old artist to illustrate a translation of the Grimm classics by novelist Lore Segal. Sendak had first envisioned the project in 1962, just as he was completing Where the Wild Things Are, but it had taken him a decade to begin drawing. He collaborated with Segal on choosing 27 of the 210 tales for this special edition, which was originally released as a glorious two-volume boxed set and was reprinted thirty years later in the single volume The Juniper Tree: And Other Tales from Grimm ( public library). it, and spent it; so be so good as to let me have what I paid it for.’‘You must have my consent to that first,’ said Heinel, ‘so please to step

I am glad that this story was not unhappy for anyone but they all were friends in the end, despite some mistrust between friends. Although it does get a little bit repetitive by the end of the book, fairy tales like these have infiltrated our common imaginary to such an extent that you can't help but be charmed by these little folk tales, despite the violence and bloodiness and the questionable morals they transmit (please remember: if you are ugly and/or a stepmother, you are necessarily EVIL, PERIOD). My favorite tales, however, are the really absurd ones about dumb people, like Clever Gretel, Clever Hans or The Story of the Youth Who Went Forth to Learn What Fear Was.For “The Lady and Lion”, the first part resembled what I had read and watched when it comes to the “Beauty and the Beast” story, but the later part was heading in a totally different direction, which was so cool. For “Hansel and Grettel”, I felt like the story “Roland and May-Bird” may better resemble the popular version of “Hansel and Grettel” that we all know (two kids got abandoned in the woods by their parents, they later found a house made of sweets that belonged to a witch).
