Book of fairy tales

The book contains fairy tales of famous German storytellers and collectors of folklore - brothers Grimm, Wilhelm Gauf, Ludwig Behstein and Edward Meorika. Written in the first decades of the XIX century, they reflect the romantic style of that time - a calm, leisurely manner of narration, an unusual sequence of words in a sentence, a little old -fashioned for a modern reader. In the plots of fairy tales, we see the whole essence of the worldview and the way of life of the common people, their perception of reality, belief, fears and joy. We invite you to this magical, mystical, simple -minded, sometimes gloomy, but such bewitching world of German folklore.

And the famous German artist Friedrich Hhelmann designed the collection. In illustrations for fairy tales, the artist embodies his most bizarre fantasies. He inhabits wonderful landscapes with mythical creatures and invites the viewer to share his vision of the world with him. This invitation cannot be abandoned, it beckons again and again. Because Friedrich Hhelmann is one of the greatest storytellers of our time. Its magical world lives in an inexhaustible color of color solutions and figurative ideas.

The book will be a great gift for all lovers of German folklore and connoisseurs of book illustration.
