The fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm have filled the dreams of children with dancing princesses and magical elves—as well as witches and wolves. Read, retold, and cherished for generations, the works of the Grimms has introduced friends and insights that resonate for a lifetime, whether through the story of a good-hearted girl in a red cape or adventurous siblings who find a cottage made of bread and cake.

Here are twenty-two of the masters' most beloved stories in a deluxe anthology based on a rare 1909 edition. Twenty-one full-color paintings and twenty-eight black & white drawings created by the legendary illustrator Arthur Rackham are filled with lush settings and delightful characterizations; his startlingly beautiful and evocative artwork is every bit as powerful as when first published over one hundred years ago.
