A wonderful collection of lesser known and darker fairy tales from beloved authors. Illustrated with beautiful colourized still images from German Expressionist movies. A full-color book, with different stories ranging from tragedy to dark humour. The stories include the following classics: "The Story of a Mother" (Hans Christian Andersen)"The Jewish Girl" (Hans Christian Andersen), "One-Eye, Two-Eyes, Three-Eyes" (Brothers Grimm)"Prince Verdeprato" (Giambattista Basile)"Clever Hans" (Brothers Grimm)"The Shadow" (Hans Christian Andersen)"Bluebeard" (Charles Perrault). The illustrations are beautiful colourized photographs from several German expressionist films such as "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari", "Der Golem", "Metropolis", "Nosferatu", "Waxworks", among other films from the 1920s. It is an excellent book for children (10-14) and adults, for fairy tale lovers and cinephiles, and for anyone with excellent taste both artistic and literary. I
