The Grimm Tales, Seventh Edition

On this page you find a list of all the tales in the seventh Grimm edition. Some titles differ in different translations, but most of them are much similar.

Through ten editions from 1825 to 1858, the Grimms published a "small edition" of tales for child readers. The selections grew to ◦fifty tales in the tenth edition (note the ⮵ in the list below). One has to question the value of more than one of those tales: tale 110, for example.

On a previous page are links to about half of the Grimm tales - the gentler ones: [Grimm Tales for Young Folks].
