German Popular Stories, The Brothers Grimm

[GRIMM, Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm GRIMM (1786-1859).] CRUIKSHANK, George, illustrator (1792-1878). German Popular Stories translated from the Kinder und Haus Märchen, collected by M.M. Grimm from oral tradition . London: C. Baldwyn, 1823 and James Robins, 1826. The first appearance of Grimm tales in English, with George Cruikshank's "remarkable" and "unsurpassed" illustrations, uncut in original bindings . "The stories we know today as Grimm's Fairy Tales were collected from oral tradition by the brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, philologists and pioneer folklorists. They began to publish the results of their work in 1812, in German, under the title Kinder- und Haus-Marchen . The tales first appeared in English in 1823, with the publication of the first volume of German Popular Stories . The translator was Edgar Taylor, and the book's publication was an auspicious event for at least two reasons. It launched an era in which folklore and the fairy tale would stimulate writers to produce an increasingly imaginative literature for children. And German Popular Stories also put before the public the remarkable illustrations—perhaps his best work—of George Cruikshank. The illustrations evoke wonderfully the grotesque, awesome, yet matter-of-fact qualities of witch and goblin, of Frog and Prince, Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, and all of the the other characters that people the tales. As illustrations to these fairy tales Cruikshank's etchings have never been surpassed" (Morgan).
