Grimms Fairy Tales Illustrated by Maurice Sendak Vintage First Edition 1st Printing Box Set The Juniper Tree & Other Tales from Grimm 1973

<Condition is Good as Pictured> (normal wear with markings, visible edge-wear, soiled exteriors, light foxing)

->Twenty-seven newly translated fairy tales from Grimm including many old favorites as well as such lesser-known tales as "The Juniper Tree," "Many-Fur," and "Brother Gaily."

—Wonderful Maurice Sendak Illustrations with Lore Segal translated stories - the prose is simple, readable, unadorned, complete with the odd, endearing ending tags of some tales. Sendak and his fellow artist did an excellent job capturing the slightly surreal, slightly creepy, slightly claustrophobic atmosphere of Grimm fairytales - even when these stories are funny there is always something heartbreaking under the surface or around the next corner. And Sendak's illustrations are brilliant. There's one illustration per story, and it's so intriguing to see which moments he illustrated, how he depicts his characters, and what else is going on in his pictures.
