Twenty tales collected from German folklore and immortalized by the brothers Grimm. Excerpt: "From the first this collection attracted the attention of scholars interested in the literary heritage of the Teutonic peoples. Yet more, it won the hearts of children and established for itself a foremost place among the classics of the nursery. These selections from the "Kinder- und Haus-Märchen" include stories which are prime favorites with children. In language as in thought they are carefully graded to the most youthful readers." This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project to make the world's books discoverable online.
