Fairy Tales From Grimm / by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm with introduction from L. Frank Baum
The Fairy Tales from Grimm is a collection of children’s stories written by the Grimm brothers, many of which have been popularized by Disney. This miniature book includes several stories such as the tale of Snow White.
Although the stories were originally published in the 1800s, this copy was produced in 1905. What makes it fantastic is the illustrations in both color and black and white. These drawings beautifully help bring the stories to life.
