Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, known as the Brothers Grimm, present a collection of the folklore and fairy tales of Germany. The brothers gathered the tales that bewitched young readers, no matter how scary they were. From the abandonment of children to the magic of a fairy stepmother, the brothers kept the folklore tradition alive. Ten of the most well-known tales preserved by the Brothers Grimm are gathered for young readers in the Calico Illustrated Classics adaptation of Grimm's Fairy Tales. Calico Chapter Books is an imprint of Magic Wagon, a division of ABDO Group. Grades 3-8.

      Old-fashioned, often broken typeface and Arthur Rackham's gloriously reproduced original artwork accompany 22 stories in a new edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales, originally published in 1909. A sepia-toned illustration for "Red Riding Hood" shows the cloaked girl meeting the bristly wolf, dwarfed by endlessly tall, bare trees. A caption in "The Bremen Town Musicians" recalls the bygone era: "They came upon a Cat, sitting in the road, with a face as long as a wet week."

      This anthology presents standard retellings of ten well-known tales, including the gory plot points that are often omitted in children's versions. There's some spark missing, though, and the tales read more like plot summaries than the magical stories that have enchanted generations. The black-and-white illustrations are bland and do little to differentiate the stories.
