Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Grimm's Household Tales, Vol. 1 of 2: With the Author's Notes
This is how the Brothers Grimm did write them; much that she said was taken down by them word by word and its fidelity is unmistakable. They bear emphatic witness to her ardent desire for accuracy. Any one who holds that tradition 18 so easily falsified and carelessly preserved that it is impossible for it to last for any length of time, ought to have heard how close she always kept to the story, and how zealous she was for its accuracy. When repeating it she never altered any part, and if she made a mistake always corrected it he1self immediately.
