A beautifully presented illustrated edition of The Complete Grimm’s Fairy Tales, featuring the haunting and dreamlike artwork of Arthur Rackham. Housed in an illustrated slipcase with decorative woodland design, this edition gathers the classic tales of the Brothers Grimm in a format made for collectors and lovers of folklore alike.

Within these pages are some of the most enduring and unsettling stories in Western folklore: Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, Snow White, Rumpelstiltskin, The Frog Prince, and many more. Far darker and stranger than their later sanitised retellings, the Grimm tales preserve the atmosphere of the old forests, folk beliefs, magic, danger, transformation, and moral ambiguity that shaped European fairy tradition.

Arthur Rackham’s illustrations add an eerie elegance to the collection, making this edition especially appealing for collectors of fairy tale art, mythology, folklore, and gothic literature.
