This charming volume features a selection of the beloved folklore collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, whose 19th-century scholarly research preserved traditional German oral storytelling for generations. Based on the celebrated Marion Edwardes translation, this edition includes vibrant full-page color illustrations that bring classic tales like "Jack My Hedgehog" to life. The book is bound in a distinctive purple and tan patterned cloth cover with a central title block. Regarding condition, the volume shows significant age-related wear, including rubbing and fraying along the spine and corners, as well as some light foxing and handling marks to the internal pages, though the text and illustrations remain clear and legible.
