"Published for the first time as a version aimed at parents and children alike... the perfect addition to any nursery library, it will have readers and listeners spellbound."— Daily Telegraph, London, United Kingdom
"This gloriously illustrated collection, TASCHEN's first children's book, includes lesser-known tales like 'Little Brother and Little Sister' and 'The Devil With the Three Golden Hairs' along with the favorites... Best are the timeless illustrations, mostly European, gleaned from previously published work from the 1820s to the 1950s. The stories, if not all their characters, live happily ever after."— New York Times Book Review, New York, United States

  • FAQ - Frequently asked questions
1. Why is TASCHEN doing a children's book for the first time after so many years?

TASCHEN recently celebrated its 30th anniversary. We have many readers who have come of age with us and are now having their own families. These readers are interested in beautifully produced children’s books that take seriously a child’s exposure to stories and images with depth and historical meaning. We wanted The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm to embody our mission to create meaningful books that are timeless yet original, modern but classic.
