Features: Grimm's Fairy Tales is one of the two most famous fairy tale collections in the world, alongside Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales, with translations available in over one hundred languages worldwide. Classic fairy tales such as Snow White, Cinderella, and Little Red Riding Hood are widely known, and many of the stories have been selected for textbooks, adapted into plays, films, or television series. The global spread and influence of Grimm's Fairy Tales are rare in the history of world literature. It is the best-selling German-language book after Martin Luther's 1521 translation of the Bible. During the Grimms' lifetime, Grimm's Fairy Tales had become a staple in German households and had been translated into almost all European languages. Grimm's Fairy Tales were introduced to China in 1915 and have been deeply loved by readers, especially children. To date, over forty or fifty translations of Grimm's Fairy Tales have been published in mainland China. Grimm's Fairy Tales established the captivating "Grimm version" narrative style in folk tales and have had a profound influence on world children's literature since the 19th century.
