Tales with "Cinderella", "Snow White", "Sleeping Beauty" or "Hansel and Gretel" are known by many children, as well as us, who grew up with them. Now, these classic tales rescued by the Grimm brothers turn 200 and the prestigious Taschen collection wanted to honor them with a book illustrated.
This is a new translation commissioned for this publication, which has a selection of graphic material by famous illustrators between 1850 and 1950. A delicious edition to listen to stories and to enjoy the drawings, some reproductions of the originals and new ones.
“The Tales of the Grimm Brothers” includes 27 stories, illustrations and silhouettes extracted from original publications and others designed for this volume. In addition to the stories, the book includes an introduction about the Grimm's legacy, brief introductory texts to each story and an appendix with the artists' biographies.
Knowing that many children only identify the characters of one of these stories with the cartoons created by Disney, it is not bad that they discover that they are much older stories and that they can be represented in different ways. And it is that many of the illustrations in this book date from the pre-Disney era.
The "Tales of the Grimm Brothers" by Taschen Publishing House, by Noel Daniel, can be purchased online in hardcover and with 320 pages for 29.99 euros and in the digital edition for iPad and iPhone, 126 pages, for 5.99 euros. A book that is a discovery for children and a jewel for the elderly.
