Historical contextSuperior formattingBackground The original edition of Household Tales by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm was written with both adult and child readers in mind. The brothers were very serious academics who thought folklore should serve a dual purpose of enlightenment and amusement. Without a doubt, the Grimms' work met this purpose, but they also understood that their primary audience consisted of and would always consist of children. They began tailoring the content of subsequent editions to include stories they deemed appropriate for young readers. There was less bloodshed and erotic subplots because moral themes were included and the characters were made more religious.Synopsis "There were golden shoes and castles, meadows and mountains of glass, and houses made of bread and windows made of sugar in a land straight out of a fairy tale. The frogs became lovely princes, while the wolves were turned into sweet old ladies. Sweethearts, real brides, and hidden lovers coexisted with malevolent queens, witches and narcissistic stepmothers. A poor youngster in the same fairy tale realm has discovered a golden key and an iron chest, and now we must all wait until he has lifted the lid. Grimm's Fairy Stories, this famous collection of timeless folk tales by the Grimm Brothers, are not only charming, fascinating, and humorous, but also frightening and intriguing. Including the likes of many well-known fairy tales such as, you guessed it, "Hansel and Gretel," "Cinderella," "The Frog Prince," "Rapunzel," "Snow White," and "Rumpelstiltskin," and many more, numerous versions of these stories have been made throughout the years, and each one continues to be a hit with audiences of all ages. But none quite like the complete original fairy tale collection by the Grimms translated by Edgar Taylor and Marian Edwardes.

He met the fox, who gave him the good advice: but when he came to the two inns, his eldest brother was standing at the window where the merrymaking was, and called to him to come in; and he could not withstand the temptation, but went in, and forgot the golden bird and his country in the same manner.”"A destiny already in the ink.""Destinyalready Creative Writing Ink" takes all reasonable efforts to protect the book's original integrity.
