{"product_id":"snow-white-and-other-tales-jacob-and-wilhelm-grimm-9780198833840","title":"Snow White and Other Tales","description":"The tales gathered by the Grimm brothers are at once familiar, fantastic, homely, and frightening. They seem to belong to no time, or to some distant feudal age of fairytale imagining. Grand palaces, humble cottages, and the forest full of menace are their settings; and they are peopled by kings and princesses, witches and robbers, millers and golden birds, stepmothers and talking frogs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRegarded from their inception both as uncozy nursery stories and as raw material for the folklorist the tales were in fact compositions, collected from literate tellers and shaped into a distinctive kind of literature. This translation mirrors the apparent artlessness of the Grimms, and fully represents the range of less well-known fables, morality tales, and comic stories as well as the classic tales. It takes the stories back to their roots in German Romanticism and includes variant stories and tales that were deemed unsuitable for children. In her fascinating introduction, Joyce Crick explores their origins, and their literary evolution at the hands of the Grimms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198833849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198833840\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.40w x 1.30d","brand":"Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43987264504063,"sku":"9780198833840","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b2d49312-dfd6-4cd7-8dae-a29aaf8de794.jpg?v=1683287944","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/snow-white-and-other-tales-jacob-and-wilhelm-grimm-9780198833840","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
