Jacob Grimm (1785—1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786—1859) were born in Hanau, Germany. They published the first of their many collections of German fairy tales in 1812.
“From Jim Dale’s fully voiced reading of ’Rumpelstiltskin’ to Kate
Rudd’s formal narration of ’Little Snow-White’ and Dion Graham’s
lightly accented rendition of ’The Twelve Huntsmen,’ these are
stellar performances. A mixture of short and long tales provides a
nice blend of listening experiences with whimsical musical
interludes.”—AudioFile Earphones Award Winner
"[There] remains something untameable about these enigmatic stories
of cruel parents, brave tailors, cannibalistic witches, enchanted
princes and princesses, and big bad wolves...Each tale gets a
different narrator, chosen from the starry firmament of the
audiobook world...[Roy] Dotrice delivers the only biblically themed
tale in the bunch and sounds like the voice of the Lord
himself."—The New York Times
