Presents twenty-two fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm based on a 1909 edition of the stories, along with twenty-one full-color paintings and twenty-eight black-and-white drawings by Arthur Rackham. Tales include "Rapunzel," "Red Riding Hood," "Hansel and Gretel," and "The Elves and the Shoemaker."

Arthur Rackham’s artworks bring a distinctive vein of dark humour to the many classic works he graced in the Golden Age of Illustration. His energetic, dense creations are perfectly suited to the powerful tales of the early Celts, and the later stories of an Ireland of mighty hearths, dreaming of battlefield glory, ancient gods and mystical isles.
