Grimm fairy tale book 200 fairy tales with illustrations by Charlotte Dematons - Lemniscaat

Grimm's fairy tales are an integral part of our society. Between the famous opening and closing sentences 'once upon a time...' and 'they lived happily ever after', countless adventures are played out that feature hordes of gnomes, evil wolves, fairy-tales and evil stepmothers. But almost always the good (although sometimes in the nick of time) overcomes the evil, and the child can go to sleep in peace. Since 2006 there is the new Grimm:a version that looks like a picture book; a book with which children can not only dream away with the enchanting stories, but in which there is also an illustration on every page, where no two princesses are the same and each fairy tale has its own atmosphere.

For this special edition, Charlotte Dematons made hundreds of full-colour illustrations - sometimes full-page, forming a whole with the text, sometimes small miniatures that are loosely sprinkled through the fairy tales. Ria van Hengel made a completely new translation of the complete original German edition, in which she succeeded in expressing the fairy tales in a clear, accessible way without losing the rich visual language of the original text.
