The Juniper Tree And Other Tales from Grimm

<p>Back in Print!</p><p>Originally published as a two-volume set forty years ago, <i>The Juniper Tree</i> is distinguished first by the selection of stories. Lore Segal and Maurice Sendak jointly culled 27 from the 210 in the complete collection, and their contents page presents a fascinating critical statement. The translations are another distinguishing quality of the Segal/Sendak edition. Both translators have been painstakingly faithful to the German texts; they have not cut, "retold," or bowdlerized. In addition, Segal and Jarrell bring to their renderings of Grimm the grace and precision that are characteristic of their own original prose. </p><p>· One of the most acclaimed Grimm collections published in English, available again </p><p>· An elegant, must-have edition for every home library </p><p>· New lower-price of $19.99, formerly $28.00 </p><p>· Includes standards such as "Hansel and Gretel," "The Fisherman and His Wife," and "The Frog King" as well as lesser-known masterpieces such as the title story and "The Goblins"</p><p>· Each story contains a full-page picture by Maurice Sendak</p><p>· Four stories translated by Jarrell, the rest by Segal</p>
