Notes	In this enchanting selection of fairy tales, the author presents his 50 favourite stories from the Brothers Grimm in a 'clear as water' retelling, making them feel fresh and unfamiliar with his dark, distinctive voice. From the otherworldly romance of classics such as 'Rapunzel', 'Snow White' and 'Cinderella' to the black wit and strangeness of such lesser-known tales as 'The Three Snake Leaves', 'Hans-my-Hedgehog' and 'Godfather Death', Pullman captures the appeal that has held the imagination of readers for centuries, following each tale with a brief and fascinating commentary on the story's background and history. In his introduction, he discusses why these stories have lasted so long, and become part of our collective storytelling imagination.
