Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales collects all of the brothers' stories in a beautiful leather-bound edition, preserving the dark, unvarnished versions of tales like Cinderella, Snow White, and Hansel and Gretel. Through stories that are often violent and morally complex, the Grimms preserved European folklore for future generations. This edition becomes both literary treasure and cultural artifact, proving that the original fairy tales are darker than Disney versions and that folklore reveals cultural truths.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because the Grimms' original tales are darker, weirder, and more interesting than sanitized versions. This complete edition reminds us that fairy tales were never just for children, that folklore is violent and strange, and that these stories have survived for reasons.
