About this Item

180 Pages. First edition by the full number line. Dust jacket Not price-clipped. This very interesting ex-library book about the two brothers that created for us many of the Fairy Tales and wonderful stories that many of us grew up with when they recorded the Fairy Tales and legends existing in their time in Europe. The book's dust jacket is encased in a mylar protective covering and being an ex-library book, has the normal stackers at the base of its spine under the mylar. The interior book has the normal library card and another sticker on the front cover's inside fly page and then their name stamped on the next 2 pages. Outside of these distractions, there are no further visible extraneous markings throughout the book and thus all printing and illustrations are in a very well-preserved condition as are the sewn-in bindings. This book will be carefully wrapped up and then boxed and sent right away to you from here in New Jersey and will come with our honest appreciation for your interest and for your order.

About this title

Synopsis:

Children everywhere are familiar with the fairy-tale world of the Brothers Grimm, who made “once upon a time” a part of our universal vocabulary—but few people know much about the brothers themselves. Inspired by their desire to document their national literary heritage, the two devoted brothers spent most of their adult years collecting and publishing German M�rchen and Sagen, fairy tales and legends. This thorough and compelling biography addresses the social, political, and historical influences that shaped the lives and stories of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm.

About the Author:

Donald R. Hettinga is a professor of English at Calvin College, where he writes about children's literature and codirects the Festival of Faith and Writing. He lives with his family in Grand Rapids, Michigan. This is his first book for children.
