I've seen a lot of different books claiming to be a Grimms "first edition" and rarely seen one claiming to be a "twelfth edition" and yet the works are often very different, and in some cases include stories that demonstrably came very later, such as "Beauty and the Beast". |

If you know of one that you know is the real McCoy, let me know. I'd like to read it.

Wikipedia has a good write-up here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brother...rimms.27_Tales Quote:
Which has a Volume 1 and a Volume 2 link, apparently translated to English in 1884 by one Margaret Hunt. Since the Amazon link did not, I think, contain 86 tales, I would say it's not a definitive first edition. (I counted, and the Amazon one seems to contain 63 titles. I didn't cross-reference names, but I'm dubious to authenticity.) Last edited by anamardoll; 03-08-2012 at 12:01 PM. |

Amazon's book description only states, "When they began in 1812 they had just 86 stories."
A customer reviewer on that page, Noam Josephides, writes: "On December 20 1812 they published the first volume of the first edition, containing 86 stories.... This book is the exact first edition that was published in 1812, without any alterations." |

The version from Project Gutenberg purports to be the Margaret Hunt translation, although it contains 200 stories, apparently.
It's available in ePub. |

The Margaret Hunt translations are available as images (PDF) at archive.org:
http://www.archive.org/details/grimmshouseholdt01grim http://www.archive.org/details/grimmshouseholdt2grim But any electronic text there will just be an auto-OCR, probably with lots of errors. [EDIT: The Project Gutenberg version appears to be these two volumes combined] |
