The celebrated Stories of the Brothers Grimm.
Embellished with 200 small and 36 full-page Illustrations by E. H. WEHNERT.
"From time to time we have noticed the periodical appearances of this edition of the famous book of the Brothers Grimm, and have only now to mention the fact of its completion into two compact, well-filled volumes. The translation is done in just the simple, homely way which suits best with the stories.... Every juvenile library should possess this excellent 'Grimm.'"--_Examiner._
"The two volumes of 'Household Stories,' translated from the Messrs. Grimm, are the completed form of an edition which was issued in numbers, and which has from time to time been mentioned by us as in course of publication. What with Mr. Wehnert's admirable illustrations (of which the number is almost countless) and the general elegance of production, the work now presents an appearance sufficiently seductive to the juvenile class of readers, to whom it is more particularly addressed."--_Athenæum._
"We cannot again avoid alluding to Mr. Wehnert's illustrations to 'Grimm.' They are instinct with the most vital spirit of German legendary romance--remote, unreal, grotesque, and suggestive; with strange bits of landscape and beautiful human faces (those of the children remarkably so), and with a singular absence of strong contrast of light and shade, as though the sun which shone upon them was not the same which shines upon this earth."--_Athenæum_, second notice.
