Overview

The stories in this collection are largely unknown to the general public and relatively true to their original form, giving readers a closer glimpse of the initial stages of the Brothers Grimm’s process of obsessively editing and rewriting their work. These early, darker versions of the fairy tales are not particularly suitable for children and hint at the pressure the duo felt to alter them in order to avoid harsh criticism. The compilation contains 17 tales, including “Little Brother and Little Sister” and “The Dog and the Sparrow,” each accompanied by a fantastic black-and-white illustration. Las historias de esta recopilación son prácticamente desconocidas para el gran público y relativamente fieles a su forma original, mostrándole al lector un fugaz vistazo de los albores del proceso de los hermanos Grimm de minuciosamente editar y reescribir su obra. Estas primeras versiones más oscuras de los cuentos de hadas no son particularmente apropiadas para los niños e insinúan la presión que sintió el dúo de cambiar los cuentos para evitar una crítica severa. La compilación contiene 17 relatos, incluyendo “Hermanito y hermanita” y “El cuento del fiel compadre gorrión,” cada uno acompañado por una estupenda ilustración en blanco y negro.
