Lucy Crane's translation renders these stories in prose that is both lyrical and faithful to the originals, capturing the enchanting yet often dark and moralistic tone that distinguishes the Grimm canon from lighter retellings. The tales chronicle the journeys of heroes and heroines through worlds populated by witches, giants, talking animals, and magical objects, where virtue is rewarded and wickedness is punished with satisfying, if sometimes grim, finality. Walter Crane's elegant illustrations complement the text with the refined aesthetic of the Arts and Crafts movement, lending the collection a visual grandeur that elevates it into a true work of art. This edition stands as one of the most distinguished Victorian-era presentations of the Grimm tales, cherished by collectors, scholars, and lovers of classic literature alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48826041925851,"sku":"2026770000486-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/10ccb001-8331-490b-8921-f32a425eabb7.png?v=1780311473","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000486-secondhand-household-stories-from-the-collection-of-the-brothers-grimm","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
