Love this book! These are more than just Fairy Tales. There is alot of history and philosophy in this book. One story is about how the world works, next story could be about some historical event being described by a child. Some are just for fun. If you're like me and love trying to read in-between the lines and can understand what the story creators are trying to convey, not take it at face value, then I highly reccomend reading it. Once you start, it's hard not to want to keep reading it. It's a must read for the curious. One story is stuck in my head. That last line. I'll let you wonder which one.....but you have to read it :)

Wow! This book, Grimm’s Complete Fairy Tales, by The Brothers Grimm, was listed as Used - very good but it looks and feels brand new. From the crispness of the binding to the immaculate gold edges of the pages, and even the red ribbon bookmark, I can find nothing less than perfect. It’s a fine addition to my library. It’s a beautiful volume and worth much more than I paid for it. I can’t wait to settle in and read it! Another reason to love this volume is that I used to live just outside the home town of The Brother’s Grimm. It’s about time I read their most beloved book. One thing’s for sure, the seller, Peter’s Rock Books, certainly knows their books as far as I’m concerned.

This is the most beautiful newly-printed book I have ever seen. The book is leather-bound with gorgeous deep burgundy leather and subdued, embossed cover art in two shades of red that continues onto the back cover of the book. The spine of the book would fit into a 200-year-old library if it did not look so clean and undamaged. The page edges are guided gold, and the pages are a light, antique cream color that adds to the book's aesthetics without detracting from the text's readability. Text size is fairly standard and easily readable, line spacing is very nice and readable, and a pleasingly wide margin surrounds all sides of the text. The book includes a roughly .25" wide bright red ribbon bookmark. Note: The book actually looks much better in person than the Amazon listing's art would lead you to believe. I don't know why the picture on amazon has a large red circular blob on the front of the cover. The actual book looks a bit more subdued, and overall much better. I hate it when a book looks old, only to have the illusion shattered by a giant "Penguin" or such publisher's logo on the spine or back cover, or a conspicuously white barcode and ISBN number in the middle of the back cover. I was pleased that this book's barcode and isbn info were printed on an easily removable sticker applied to the back cover of the book. With the sticker removed, the book would look at home in the classiest of libraries (the publisher's logo was tasteful adapted into a simple gold-embossed monogram "CC" that was seamlessly matched with the rest of the spine's text). On top of the book aesthetic features, Grimm's Fairy Tales are an excellent read for children and adults alike. I appreciated that this book contained simply the stories, without page and pages of bulky appendices, editor's notes, and other features that clutter the book without adding anything I would actually use. The book is 652 pages of 201 stories and 10 legends, with only a brief introduction at the beginning. Perfect. Overall, this book is stunning, and will probably be the most impressive book in most buyers' libraries. If I had paid $44.99 for this book, I still would not have felt ripped off, but at a price of around $16.00 this book is an incredible deal. Of all my purchases on Amazon, this ranks highly among my best.

Glad to have found a book with all Brothers Grimm’s stories in 1. Thank you seller & publisher!

Not for the faint of heart. A fantastic collection of original stories from the Grimm brothers. Beautiful book cover.

Stunning book, very well made, on top of the amazing original stories it has some very cool drawings. Perfect as a gift.

It's a really beautiful book, the details are amazing and the golden tip of the pages is a nice finnish. It's really great and I'm so happy that I finally got it. The stories are original, tho I haven't read a lot of them. Although the Amazon could protect the book a little bit more for the transport.

Very nice quality. Lots cool stories. Beautiful cover. A must have for any library
