German Popular Stories(First Translation) (1823)

by [J. & W.] Grimm Return to list Adopt this book

This is the first translation of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm's Fairy Tales, translated from the German by London lawyer, Edgar Taylor (1793-1839). A perfect gift for those who enjoy the tales of Snow White, Hansel and Gretel and Rapunzel.

I use the British Library often for research, but I LOVE adopting books as gifts for people. My most recent adoption was in honor of my English professor in college. I am not just a literary scholar because of her influence--I am also a better human being.

My daughter and I both love the ambiance of the British Library and feel proud to be Readers. Supporting the Adopt a Book scheme is the least I can do.
