The book: Rare limited signed first edition in fine condition. In this beautiful book of classic fairy tales, award-winning author Philip Pullman has chosen his fifty favorite stories from the Brothers Grimm and presents them in a 'clear as water' retelling, in his unique and brilliant voice. From the quests and romance of classics such as 'Rapunzel', 'Snow White' and 'Cinderella' to the danger and wit of such lesser-known tales as 'The Three Snake Leaves', 'Hans-my-Hedgehog' and 'Godfather Death', Pullman brings the heart of each timeless tale to the fore, following with a brief but fascinating commentary on the story's background and history. In his introduction, he discusses how these stories have lasted so long, and become part of our collective storytelling imagination.

The author: Philip Pullman (born 19 October 1946) is one of the most celebrated contemporary writers of fantasy and children’s literature. Best known for His Dark Materials, he has received the Carnegie Medal, the Whitbread Book of the Year, and the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award. Pullman’s long-standing love of fairy tales culminated in this masterful retelling of the Grimms, where his narrative craft and deep respect for myth shine through each story.
