Well, here I go being all Grimm again.��
I bought Maria Tatar’s edition of the Bicentennial Edition of “The Annotated Brothers Grimm”. It is excellent and contains wonderful illustrations. Her translation is more fluid than the accurate but older version by Margaret Hunt. The annotations are very interesting and the volume contains other materials including an excellent introduction, biographical information about the Brothers Grimm, and their own superb introductions to the first two editions of the Tales. The book contains fifty of the most interesting stories and with the annotations and additional material runs to five hundred pages. If you want all 200+ stories that appeared in the final edition of Grimm then you must go to Margaret Hunt which is available free as an ebook.
The Bicentennial Edition will set you back €35 but it’s worth it
