Penguin Classics In this enchanting selection of fairy tales, award-winning author Philip Pullman presents his fifty favorite stories from the Brothers Grimm in a clear as water retelling, making them feel fresh and unfamiliar with his dark, distinctive voice. From the otherworldly romance of classics such Rapunzel, Snow White, and Cinderella to the black wit and strangeness of such lesser-known tales as The Three Snake Leaves, Hans-my-Hedgehog, and Godfather Death, Pullman captures the appeal that has held the imagination of children and adults alike for centuries. In his introduction, he discusses why these stories have lasted so long and become part of our collective storytelling imagination. Pullmans Grimm Tales of wicked wives, brave children, and villainous kings will have you listening again and again for many years to come.
