Review: Great for honing children into being assertive, strong, patient, and kind adults. Highly Recommend. - I read and reread Grimm's Fairy Tales as a child. They are extraordinary. This book helped me grow up to be wise of the ways of the world, fiercely independent and unafraid of my shadow. Due to the fact that these "fairy tales" can be harsh, they give children perspective. I'm tickled to get this free and illustrated. In this day of children all being "chosen" for a team and not having the experience of not making the team, of there being no scores kept making the games noncompetitive, of not being taught how to lose gracious and how to win graciously, these "fairy tales" can make the difference between a child who grows into an adult ready to face the world or an adult who is afraid of their shadow and has to "retire" from the work force because they did not learn how to "work and play well" with others. If you want your children to be stronger adults, or if you are an adult who wants some perspective, I highly recommend this book. Review: Great book, well done, not for small kids - Very neat. If your looking for a children friendly book though, this really isn't it. It's very well done, but written to older people, a lot of old English like style. I would say sometime between 7 and 10 children would have less problems with this book. The art work is great however, and I do like the layout. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,220,093 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5,467 in Folklore & Mythology Studies #15,618 in Folklore (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 394 Reviews | ## Images ![Grimm's Fairy Tales (Illustrated) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812JY7CFAlS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for honing children into being assertive, strong, patient, and kind adults. Highly Recommend. *by T***A on November 12, 2013* I read and reread Grimm's Fairy Tales as a child. They are extraordinary. This book helped me grow up to be wise of the ways of the world, fiercely independent and unafraid of my shadow. Due to the fact that these "fairy tales" can be harsh, they give children perspective.

If your looking for a children friendly book though, this really isn't it. It's very well done, but written to older people, a lot of old English like style. I would say sometime between 7 and 10 children would have less problems with this book. The art work is great however, and I do like the layout. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Aesthetically pleasing but loses functionality *by F***O on October 13, 2014* Instead of being your usual text-based Kindle book, this book is image-based. So you cannot select text, and this prevents you from being able to highlight text, look up a definition, search Wikipedia, etc. Each page seems to be made of two images, and on a regular e-ink Kindle, these do not align well. One image is an ornate border around the text, and the other image is the text. On my Kindle Touch, these run into each other on the right side, obscuring the text on the right end of each line. Since you cannot change or resize the font, there is no way to fix this. But they do align well on my tablet, and the description above mentions that it is optimized for Kindle Fire HD. On my tablet, this book looks very beautiful. The font used is a lovely one with an archaic flavor to it, making it suitable for fairy tales. The text is surrounded by an ornate border, and the story will begin with a large decorative letter. It is illustrated with beautiful artwork from both Walter Crane and Arthur Rackham, and by reading on my tablet, I get to see the artwork in color. The translation seems to be based on that of Margaret Hunt. In comparing it with another ebook version of Hunt's translation, the main difference is that the text in this version is broken into more paragraphs. This makes it more readable, because it gives each speaker in a conversation a separate paragraph instead of including multiple speakers in the same paragraph. I also own a printed version with a modern update of Hunt's translation, which changes thee, thou, and thy to you and your. I have no trouble understanding the more archaic language, and I find that modernizing the language takes some of the charm away from the story. So I appreciate that this version sticks with Hunt's more archaic language. Because of its beauty, its inclusion of artwork from two great illustrators of these tales, and how it improves Hunt's paragraphing without modernizing her language, I prefer reading this version despite not being able to look up words. If it had everything I like about it, and it also let me select and look up words, I would give it five stars. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/11331222-grimms-fairy-tales-illustrated](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/11331222-grimms-fairy-tales-illustrated) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-10-28*
