Jacob Grimm & Wilhelm Grimm 
Grimm’s Complete Fairy Tales 

They are the stories we’ve known since we were children: Rapunzel Hansel and Gretel Cinderellaand Sleeping Beauty. But the works originally collected by the Brothers Grimm in the early 1800s are not necessarily the versions we heard before bedtime. They’re darker and while they don’t always end happily, their dark conclusions can be far more interesting.This edition of Grimm’s Complete Fairy Tales includes all our cherished favorites Snow White, Rumpelstiltskin, Little Red Cap, and many morein their original versions. Many of these tales begin with the familiar refrain of ‘once upon a time’but they end with something unexpected and fascinating!Lexile score: 1150L
