The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
From childhood, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were inseparable. Just over a year apart, they were like twins and did almost everything together. They took long walks and collected things like butterflies and birds' eggs. Then they exchanged these for things they liked better from their friends' collections. They were born barterers.
The story of the Brothers Grimm and how they set about to gather and preserve their world-famous collections of folk tales and fairy tales is told in a lively, humorous manner by Robert Quackenbush and is illustrated with his droll cartoon drawings. This fresh approach to the life and achievements of the famous brothers will delight young readers.
