This book includes fifteen Grimms' fairy tales. The volume's real focus is the art: for each story, Edens brings together illustrations from many sources (e.g., "Cinderella" includes pictures from Maxfield Parrish, Lancelot Speed, and several anonymous illustrators). Most are from the late-nineteenth through early-twentieth centuries, and the variety of interpretations and styles will be of interest to collectors and artists.
