内容简介 格林童话与安徒生童话是广大中国读者所熟知的童话故事象征。《格林童话》的作者是生活在19世纪德国的格林兄弟，他们是语言学家和古文化研究者。两人在上大学期间结识了海德堡浪漫派诗人布伦塔诺和阿尔尼姆，他们搜集整理的德国民歌集《男童的神奇号角》给了兄弟二人启发。后来，这哥俩在黑森、美茵河等地访问善于讲童话的人，收集他们口中的故事，几年下来竟有百余篇。

在《格林童话》的故事中，各国的人民尽管生活在不同的地带，讲着不同的语言，受着不同的帝王公侯的统治或者不再受他们的统治，但他们对于真理、正义、善良、慈爱、勤劳、勇敢等优良品质的拥护和赞颂，对于虚伪、邪恶、凶残、狡猾、懒惰、怯懦等丑陋品质的憎恶和谴责，永远都是完全一致的。

《格林童话》中的名篇有《白雪公主》、《渔夫和他的妻子》、《亨舍尔和格莱特》、《聪明的小裁缝》、《兔子和刺猬》等。


Book Description
The Brothers Grimm rediscovered a host of fairy tales, telling of princes and princesses in their castles, witches in their towers and forests, of giants and dwarfs, of fabulous animals and dark deeds. This selection of their tales was made and translated by Lucy Crane.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 5-Joss Ackland reads 14 personal favorites from Grimm, some of which will be new to adults as well as children. Even familiar tales like "Cinderella" and "Little Red Riding Hood" will seem a little unfamiliar as the older versions of the stories are shared. "Cinderella" does not contain a fairy godmother; good fortune comes to the heroine through a kind bird who perches in a hazel bush growing from Cinderella's dead mother's grave. The menacing wolf in "Little Red Riding Hood" is dispatched by the huntsman. However, for listeners who think that the story ended there, Ackland reveals that Little Red Riding Hood ventured into the wood again and was approached by another wolf, equally threatening. Learning their lesson the first time, Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother drown the second wolf. Among the other tales are: "Snow White and Rose Red," "Rapunzel," "The Singing Bone," "Rumpelstiltskin," "Faithful John," "The Nixie of the Mill Pond," "The Mouse, the Bird and the Sausage," "The Sleeping Beauty," and four others. The rich style of these stories has an antique quality, and there is no attempt to modernize them. Likewise, there is no attempt to launder the tales to remove the violent justice or merciless cruelty heaped upon the heroes and heroines. The sound quality is excellent, and Ackland is a remarkable reader who uses his expressive voice to bring out the drama inherent in these stories. Listeners seeking authentic versions of these classic tales will find a unique resource in this collection. School media specialists and public librarians will find this an excellent addition to their folktale collections.ANancy L. Chu, Western Illinois University, Macomb

From AudioFile
British actress Laura Paton reads fairy tales, including "The Frog Prince," "The Elves and the Shoemaker," "Hansel and Gretel," "Little Red Riding Hood" and "Cinderella." Paton reads at a comfortable pace in a clear, versatile voice. She gives a quiet, deft reading without intrusive overdramatization, which allows listeners to become involved in the stories. The stories are introduced with brief musical passages taken from Tchaikovsky, Strauss and Grieg, which enhance the presentation. Whether listeners know these classic stories well or are hearing them from the first time, they'll enjoy this collection. C.R.A.
