About This Item
GRIMM, Jacob (1785-1863) and GRIMM, Wilhelm (1786-1859).
Kinder- und Haus-Märchen.
Berlin: G. Reimer, 1825.
Seven page illustrations by Ludwig Emil Grimm (1790-1863), comprising scenes from Mary's Child, Hansel & Gretel, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and the Goose Girl.
Thick 12mo., iv 316 pp.; early 3/4 red leather, marbled boards. The spine title misspelt "Hans Märchen" instead of "Haus".
This is the very rare first "Kleine Ausgabe", i.e. Popular Edition of Grimm's fairy tales intended specifically for children to read themselves. Inspired by the success of Cruikshank's popular English edition, the Grimms released this version comprising a selection of 50 of their most popular tales in pocket-size format, omitting the critical apparatus of earlier editions, and adding illustrations.
The earliest version of their Fairy Tales (1812-1815) was chiefly philological and unillustrated; the next edition (1819) was re-edited and written for parents to read these stories aloud to the child.
