Review: Grimm & Rackham - Made for each other! - This sumptuous hardcover edition with gilt edged pages & bookmark, is one of the few to contain complete stories of Grimm brothers & full (more than 100 b/w & colour) illustrations by Arthur Rackham. Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious! Review: Why are these tales important for adults? - The most famous collectors of fairy tales are the Brothers Grimm, Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm (1786-1859). This free desertcart kindle book contains all of the 200 Grimm's tales and 10 children's lessons in easy to read English. Many people think that fairy tales are just for children and that adults can get nothing worthwhile or practical from them. These people forget that fairy tales are akin to myths, legends, parables, many sermons, and Midrash. They are tales with messages. Many are unnatural, magical, otherworldly; but these aspects help capture the listeners' imagination and help them remember many details so that even though they may not fathom them immediately, they will recall them later, sometimes just subconsciously, and get the practical lessons. Let's take a familiar story, Rapunzel. Parents surrender their child to an enchantress in exchange for a large supply of a delightful edible plant called rapunzal. While the parents willingly give up their daughter, the enchantress wants her just for herself. She calls her Rapunzel after the food. She places her in a tower with no doors and a window. Rapunzel has very long hair. When the enchantress want to go see her, she calls to Rapunzel to let her hair out the window and she climbs up the hair to her room. A prince happens by and sees this. When the enchantress goes away, he calls to Rapunzel, who thinks he is the enchantress, and climbs up her hair. Soon Rapunzel is pregnant, the enchantress discovers the liaison, she blinds the prince, and cuts Rapunzel's hair to stop the prince from ascending to her. Rapunzel finds a way to build a rope so that she can descend, and does so. She cries when she sees that the prince is blind and her tears restore his sight, and she and the prince live happily ever after. What does this story tell its readers? Note that the parents' willingness to give up their only child because of the mother's craving for a delicacy is remarkably similar to the biblical story of King David's lust for Bat Sheba and both are similar to the daily act by people giving up something important because of momentary cravings; such as good health for a hamburger. What is the enchantress? Couldn't she simply be the laws of nature? What does the hair signify? Ever since the beginning of time people thought that some special power exists in hair. The Greek warrior Spartans wore their hair long for this reason, so did the biblical Samson. What is the significance of the prince and climbing up the hair? What is the meaning underlying the use of rope instead of hair? Does it suggest getting rid of superstitions (about hair) and using intelligence? What practical lesson is there in the idea that the tears opened the prince's vision? These are just a few of the many questions that can be asked about this simple fairy tale, questions that show that the story has lessons. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #109,019 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,298 in Myths, Legends & Sagas #3,579 in Classic Fiction (Books) #7,572 in Contemporary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,345 Reviews | ## Images ![Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales (Barnes & Noble Collectible Classics: Omnibus Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CaJopoYEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grimm & Rackham - Made for each other! *by R***R on 30 January 2024* This sumptuous hardcover edition with gilt edged pages & bookmark, is one of the few to contain complete stories of Grimm brothers & full (more than 100 b/w & colour) illustrations by Arthur Rackham.

A letra tem um tamanho bom para leitura. Possui imagens em preto e branco e imagens coloridas. Nas fotos estão imagens do conto "Hansel and Gretel" (João e Maria). Estou muito satisfeito com o produto, mal posso esperar para ler. Posteriormente eu penso em editar essa avaliação falando sobre a versão dos contos, se estão conforme o original, que são bem mais "grotescos" que suas versões apresentadas pela Disney, ou se são versões mais palatáveis para crianças atuais. ## Frequently Bought Together - Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales (Barnes & Noble Collectible Classics: Omnibus Edition) - Barnes & Noble Aesop's Illustrated Fables ( Collectible Classics: Omnibus Edition) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/148881997-grimms-complete-fairy-tales-barnes-and-noble-collectible-classics-omnibus](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/148881997-grimms-complete-fairy-tales-barnes-and-noble-collectible-classics-omnibus) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-06*
