Features: Many stories from Grimm's Fairy Tales are also widely known in other European countries. For example, as early as 1697, France published Cendrillon (Cinderella) or Histoires ou Contes des olden times avec des moralités by the famous writer Charles Perrault. Although thin in volume, it already included stories such as Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty in the Forest, Bluebeard, and Puss in Boots. They are almost identical to the content collected and organized later by the Grimm brothers. Strictly speaking, whether in terms of subject matter or artistic features, Grimm's Fairy Tales is a typical European folk tale. The Sleeping Beauty in the castle, the candy house at the end of the forest, and the fairy tale of the wolf and the seven little lambs are so interesting and imaginative, enriching people's ordinary lives and no longer being the exclusive domain of children.

The version selected for this book presents the full scope of Grimm's Fairy Tales in its completeness, accompanied by a new, conversational translation, available for readers to appreciate and.
