Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm: A New English Version by Philip Pullman
5.0
I loved this! This translation of the Grimm Brothers' fairy tales includes the classics of Cinderella, Snow White, Hansel & Gretel, etc, but also some that I'd never heard of: Faithful Johannes, Lazy Heinz, the Three Snake Leaves.
On occasion, Pullman 'improved' the fairy tales he encountered, and he always gives an explanation at the end of the story of where it came from and what other variations are available.
