Jacob Grimm

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

2 classic books for the price of 1: Vintage Fear is a limited edition gift pack which consists of beautifully designed separate volumes of The Complete Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm and Angela Carter's groundbreaking reworking of these stories, The Bloody Chamber. Vintage Fear is just one of ten Vintage Classic Twins to collect. Each twin consists of two books: a specially designed limited edition of one modern classic title and one established classic work. The books in each pair have been carefully selected to provide a thought-provoking combination. The Complete Fairy Tales: The folk tales collected by the Grimm brothers created an astonishingly influential imaginative world loved by millions of readers from their childhoods. However, it is also a world where a woman serves her stepson up in a stew and an evil queen dances to death in a pair of burning shoes. Violent, funny, wise and beautiful, these stories have intrigued children, adults, scholars, psychologists and artists for centuries. This is the only complete edition of the tales available featuring the 279 stories in an acclaimed, modern, unexpurgated translation. The Bloody Chamber: From familiar fairy tales and legends - Red Riding Hood, Bluebeard, Puss in Boots, Beauty and the Beast, vampires and werewolves - Angela Carter has created an absorbing collection of dark, sensual, fantastic stories.
