marisolstice Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I'm looking for an unabridged, complete volume or volumes by Andersen, and possibly Grimm too...anyone have a publisher or translator you'd recommend? Not having much luck with Amazon reviews since they lump all the editions together :confused1: Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmrich Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 If you want one with commentaries, I loved Maria Tatar's collections. The illustrations are also lovely. I became a huge fan of Hans Christian Andersen because of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaredluvsjoanie Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Dover Publications is a likely source. They have a great website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) Barnes and Noble has cheap leather bound classics. I think the Grimms is still complete, but I don't think Anderson is still. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/grimms-complete-fairy-tales-jacob-grimm/1100228772?ean=9781435158115 I've lost my taste for complete Fairy Tale anthologies. They are heavy and bulky, and the stories skipped in the smaller books are the most boring. I do like original unabridged individual stories, but don't need every story in the book I want to cuddle up with and keep and call my own. For bed time story reading, I really like the Marcus Clapham's Best Fairy Stories anthology. https://www.amazon.com/Fairy-Stories-Macmillan-Collectors-Library/dp/1509826637/ref=sr_1_1_twi_har_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1487729319&sr=8-1&keywords=Clapham+best+fairy+stories It is a tiny little hardcover, with a ribbon and gilt edges. Macmillan Collector's Library also sells anthologies by individual fairy tale authors. Edited February 22, 2017 by Hunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKT Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I have this version for Hans Christian Andersen and it's gorgeous! It's a beautiful fabric-like hardcover that comes with two ribbon bookmarks, gilt-edge pages, and amazing illustrations from a variety of artists. Highly recommend! (I didn't pay $30.00 for it though...would definitely look around for different sellers on Amazon. I think I paid closer to $20.00.) As for Grimm, I have this version by Philip Pullman and we have enjoyed it a lot! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
