I received a e-copy of the book from the publisher through netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
This book is awesome. I grew up hearing and reading these stories all the time. My father used to say me the story of Snow white, Rapunzel, Cinderella and much more. This book made me relive my childhood days again.
Overall this book is the best gift to any child or even adults. This book have everything which a book lover wants!!!!

The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales is undoubtedly one of the most classic and enduring collection of stories ever created. What sets this edition apart is that it includes Arthur Rackham's 1909 stunning illustrations. Also, can we talk about the cover by Beth Middleworth? Amazing.

The illustrations and stories are simply magical. Quite the enjoyable read of about 800 pages so become immersed and enjoy!

This is a beautiful and extensive collection of Grimm's Fairy Tales. I've read plenty of collections before, but never a "complete" work. The illustrations are beautiful and enhance the stories. I would love to add this book to our collection.

I received a copy of this book but it in no way influences my review.

Oh my god! I loved this book. I am definitely getting a copy of it for my bookshelf.
The illustrations are so gorgeous and the stories are so nostalgic and stunning.

I love how this book captures all the little stories and the color illustrations are gorgeous as well.
Definitely highly recommend this book in everyone's bookshelf!

Gorgeous edition of traditional Brothers Grimm fairytales, including lesser known stories. A wonderful, whimsical escape from the mundanity of lockdown life. I would love to own this as a physical copy.

This is such an Amazing collection of famous and less known Fairytales from Brothers Grimm. It took me 2 days to read this humongous (around 800 pages) book but not a second of boredom. The stories are as they were told originally full or dark tales that impart wisdom. There are coloured as well as black and white illustrations by Arthur Rackham. Definitely looking forward to adding this to my Fairytale collection. Thank you NetGalley and Publisher for the early review copy.

It's hard to review an anthology of more than 200 fairytales and short stories but everyone know at least half of the Grimm Brothers' tales so what I definitely have to say it's that this particular edition is a must-have in any bookshelf because the inside and outside of the book is so gorgeous I can't even.

The style in every tale is raw, dark and twisted and it's just so delightful to read each and every one and have the opportunity to come back reading them anytime you want with this beautiful compilation. This is an almost 800 pages, 100 illustrations and hardcover edition of one of the most well-known, timeless bedtime stories that not only younger readers but also adult ones will enjoy thanks to the wisdom inside their simplicity.
Plus it has deckled edges! My sweet spot for books

I am all grown up. I grew up on Brothers Grimm fairy tales. Today I felt like going through them again and read, remember and dream that I can be a swan in today's world, the Golden egg for my loved ones and a reader to my child, and nieces and nephews who forgot that fairy tales bring happiness and build on imagination. Beautifully written book. I just hope it was available in kindle.

Thanks NetGalley for a chance to check this book out! I was so excited to see a new collection of the classic Grimm's Fairy Tales. I have an old hardcover version that is well-loved from my childhood. The stories are fascinating, whimsical, and grimly imaginative. Would definitely buy this version for the beautiful cover and unique illustrations that are sprinkled throughout the pages.

I have always loved Grimm's Fairy Tales, and I'm very excited that I now have a complete version! The stories are excellent, as always, but I would recommend buying a hardcover copy simply because this new edition is BEAUTIFUL.

Very extensive collection! Has well known Grimm’s fairy tales and some that I’ve never heard of. The stories were kept short and readable with detailed art and illustrations throughout. Feels like something you would find in an old book shoppe or attic. Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for giving me this book in exchange for an honest review.

A great collection of fairytales! Filled with the classics and gorgeous artwork to go along with the stories. A perfect edition for all ages. I really enjoyed reading these and rediscovering some of my favorite fairytales and some I have yet to read.

This is an amazing book.

There are stories that are timeless and such is the case of the Grimm brothers' tales. I grew up with these stories and I have some editions of their stories, and this collection is perfect for fairy tale's lovers lovers. The illustrations are perfect, in that old style that is also a little creepy.

I loved this collection and will definitely buy the hardcover!!! I need this in my hands!
