About the book: This anthology brings together the most popular fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen. Beautiful illustrations by legendary artists, introductory essays, introductions to each fairy tale, and an appendix with detailed biographies make this collection a visual treat and a reading pleasure that will enchant young and old alike – a childhood journey for every family and a must-have for every art book collection.
Biography: The brothers Jacob (1785–1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786–1859), as Germanists, collected over 200 fairy tales such as Cinderella, Snow White, and Rapunzel, which appeared in their collection Children's and Household Tales and influenced generations of writers, artists, and filmmakers.
Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875) was born in Odense. The imaginative only child, supported by his father and patrons, wrote novels, poems, and 168 fairy tales that became international classics. Since 1967, his birthday has been celebrated as International Children's Book Day.
