This collection features brand new translations of the best-known and most-loved fairy tales. Returning to some of the earliest written records of these stories, before the moralising of the Victorians and the sugar-coating of Walt Disney, it unearths narratives that differ radically from those that we tell our children to this day.
Suddenly, fairy tales are everywhere. Up to ten major feature films have been made or are in production using as a basis traditional fairy tales that we think we are all familiar with. But are we? This collection reprints or retranslates the earliest versions of eight of those tales, and shows how they are sometimes very far from the stuff of cosy bedtime stories or jolly pantomimes. The stories include: The Little Mermaid Sleeping Beauty Cinderella Beauty and the Beast Jack and the Beanstalk Snow White Hansel and Gretel Little Red Riding Hood
