“The wolf thought to himself, ‘What a tender young creature! what a nice plump mouthful— she will be better to eat than the old woman. I must act craftily, so as to catch both.’”
Collected by the German Grimm brothers, these folk tales have captured the imaginations of children and adults alike since they were first published in 1812. The best-known stories such asRumpelstiltskin, Hansel and Gretel,The Frog-Prince, andLittle Red Riding Hood remain as popular today as when first told, although there is an underlying darkness and violence to the original stories.
Features: 
·Life & Times—a fascinating insight into the author, their work and the time of publication

《格林童话》由德国民间文学研究家格林兄弟搜集、加工、整理而成，是欧洲各国中搜集、编写最早，篇幅最长，系统性最强的一部童话集，也是世界儿童文学作品中最著名的童话全集之一。书中作者运用浪漫主义的手法，将花草树木、飞禽走兽人格化，将自然神化，并通过象征的手法和奇妙夸张的幻想，塑造出似幻尤真，绚丽多彩的艺术境界。质朴清新的语言，丰富的想象力为我们营造了一个纯洁的世界。

格林兄弟，雅各布•格林（1785—1863）和威廉•格林（1786—1859），他们都是德国民间文学搜集整编者、语言文化研究者。两人出身官员家庭，均曾在马尔堡大学学法律，又同在卡塞尔图书馆工作和任格廷根大学教授，1841年同时成为格林科学院院士，是德国的两位博学多识的学者——民间文学研究家、语言学家、历史学家。

Some men are born to good luck: all they do or try to do comes right— all that falls to them is so much gain—all their geese are swans—all their cards are trumps—toss them which way you will, they will always, like poor puss, alight upon their legs, and only move on so much the faster. The world may very likely not always think of them as they think of themselves, but what care they for the world? what can it know about the matter? 
One of these lucky beings was neighbour Hans. Seven long years he had worked hard for his master. At last he said, ‘Master, my time is up; I must go home and see my poor mother once more: so pray pay me my wages and let me go.’ And the master said, ‘You have been a faithful and good servant, Hans, so your pay shall be handsome.’ Then he gave him a lump of silver as big as his head. 
Hans took out his pocket-handkerchief, put the piece of silver into it, threw it over his shoulder, and jogged off on his road homewards. As he went lazily on, dragging one foot after another, a man came in sight, trotting gaily along on a capital horse. ‘Ah!’ said Hans aloud, ‘what a fine thing it is to ride on horseback! There he sits as easy and happy as if he was at home, in the chair by his fireside; he trips against no stones, saves shoe-leather, and gets on he hardly knows how.’ Hans did not speak so softly but the horseman heard it all, and said, ‘Well, friend, why do you go on foot then?’ ‘Ah!’ said he, ‘I have this load to carry: to be sure it is silver, but it is so heavy that I can’t hold up my head, and you must know it hurts my shoulder sadly.’ ‘What do you say of making an exchange?’ said the horseman. ‘I will give you my horse, and you shall give me the silver; which will save you a great deal of trouble in carrying such a heavy load about with you.’ ‘With all my heart,’ said Hans: ‘but as you are so kind to me, I must tell you one thing—you will have a weary task to draw that silver about with you.’ However, the horseman got off, took the silver, helped Hans up, gave him the bridle into one hand and the whip into the other, and said, ‘When you want to go very fast, smack your lips loudly together, and cry “Jip!"’
