La princesse et le crapaud

Il était une fois, en Allemagne, deux frères, Wilhelm et Jacob Grimm : ils écoutaient les merveilleux récits des conteuses, lors des veillées au coin du feu, et les ont transcrits.

Schneewittchen - Ein Märchen der Gebrüder Grimm

Selon Bruno Bettelheim, le célèbre psychologue, l'enfant éprouve le besoin de lire des contes. Il s'en pénètre jusqu'au moment où, après en avoir épuisé la substance, il ressent l'envie d'aborder une autre histoire.C'est la raison pour laquelle Etienne Delessert a décidé de choisir une vingtaine de contes de fées et de les présenter un par un, dans la collection illustrée par des artistes de réputation internationale. Ces contes choisis s'adressent à l'enfant dans un langage simple, humain. Ils n'imposent pas de morale sévère Chaque histoire propose à l'enfant un héros auquel il pourra s'identifier et qui l'aidera à passer sans heurt les moments difficiles de la vie. L'originalité de la série vient aussi du choix des illustrateurs. Etienne Delessert a essayé de donner à chacun d'eux un texte qui lui corresponde profondément, en lui demandant d'interpréter l'histoire de façon libre, de faire dialoguer texte et images un peu comme le ferait l'auteur d'un film.

Les trois langages

Hansel and Gretel, Rumpelstiltskin, and Snow White are among the jewels we owe to the German brothers Grimm, who began in the first decade of the 19th century to seek out and listen to village storytellers. The best-loved of the tales they discovered are now brought together with the marvelous pictures that in 1900 first established the reputation of one of the greatest children's illustrators of all time, Arthur Rackham.

Chere mili

Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm was born in January 4, 1785, in Hanau, Germany. Just over a year later, in February 24, 1786, his little brother Wilhelm Carl Grimm was born. Their father was a lawyer, and they had six more brothers and one sister. In 1802, Jacob went to university to study law at the University of Marburg. As always, his little brother followed him, and entered law school in 1803. During their university years they began to collect folk and fairy tales. Folklore is stories that have been passed down from parents to children, by word of mouth, but at that time many had not been published in books. The Grimms were especially interested in stories that included Germany and German culture. Jacob and Wilhelm published their first book of fairy tales - "Children's and Household Tales" - in 1812. There were 86 folktales. Readers were so happy to see the stories they had been told as children all collected together that the book was a success. In the next volume of "Grimm's Fairy Tales," the brothers added 70 more stories. It went on growing like this for six more editions. Finally, the book contained over 200 stories! It is probably the best-known work of German literature. Even if you don't know the Brothers Grimm, you definitely know a Grimm fairy tale. If only all brothers were as close as the Brothers Grimm. They were always together - even when Wilhelm married his wife Henriette, Jacob continued to live with them! The Brothers Grimm were both professors and scholars. In fact, Jacob Grimm is considered to be the father of the study of German history. They both taught as professors in Germany's capitol, at the University of Berlin. They became known throughout Europe as experts on anything to do with folktales, language, and anything German. They were so into books that they both became librarians as well! During their lifetimes they published many more very important books, including "German Mythology," "Old German Tales," "The History of the German Language," and even the German Dictionary. Grimm fairy tales include stories of kings, magic, and talking animals. Even though the stories are sometimes scary, fairy tales allow us to work through our fears. They often teach us a lesson about moral values, and right and wrong

Chargée de porter une galette et une bouteille de vin à sa grand-mère, le Petit Chaperon Rouge part à travers la forêt. Oubliant bien vite les recommandations de sa maman, elle ne se méfie pas du Loup qui l'encourage à quitter le chemin. Un des contes les plus célèbres des frères Grimm.

Le petit chaperon rouge

... It was the middle of winter, when the broad flakes of snow were falling around, that the queen of a country many thousand miles off sat working at her window. The frame of the window was made of fine black ebony, and as she sat looking out upon the snow, she pricked her finger, and three drops of blood fell upon it. Then she gazed thoughtfully upon the red drops that sprinkled the white snow, and said, 'Would that my little daughter may be as white as that snow, as red as that blood, and as black as this ebony windowframe!' And so the little girl really did grow up; her skin was as white as snow, her cheeks as rosy as the blood, and her hair as black as ebony; and she was called Snowdrop.

But this queen died; and the king soon married another wife, who became queen, and was very beautiful, but so vain that she could not bear to think that anyone could be handsomer than she was. She had a fairy looking-glass, to which she used to go, and then she would gaze upon herself in it, and say:

'Tell me, glass, tell me true!

Of all the ladies in the land,

Who is fairest, tell me, who?'

And the glass had always answered:

'Thou, queen, are the fairest in all the land.'...
