Here are the tales of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in their older, stranger forms: Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Rapunzel, and Rumpelstiltskin, alongside dozens of lesser known stories of clever peasants, kind youngest sons, and wolves who get what is coming to them. Collected from the firesides of Germany, they are the bedrock the whole fairy tale tradition stands on.
