Tales from Grimm

From the award-winning illustrator Katie Ponder, this stunning collection of tales from the Brothers Grimm is reimagined for a new generation of readers. All the favorite tales are here—from Cinderella and Snow White to Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood.

Alongside these classic stories are less well-known, but no less intriguing, tales whose titles alone grip the imagination—from The Star Money, about a young orphan whose generous spirit is finally rewarded, to Dr. Know All—a comic tale about a peasant who pretends to be a doctor.

The book includes a biography of the Grimm brothers, along with fascinating facts that set the stories in historical context. And what truly sets this treasury apart from the competition is the spellbinding vision of award-winning artist Katie Ponder. Her vibrant illustrations wrap around these timeless narratives, transforming every "once upon a time" into a visual masterpiece. With each story delightfully retold to grip the imagination, this treasure trove of delights will spark a lifelong love of reading in every child.
