To-morrow I shall the Queen’s child take;

Ah! how famous it is that nobody knows

That my name is Rumpelstiltskin.” ― from Rumpelstiltskin.

A rare first edition printing of Grimm’s Fairy Tales – ‘Grimm’s Goblins’, with famous stories such as Rumpelstiltskin, Hansel & Gretel, the Frog-Prince, and Tom Thumb. This famous collection of children’s tales is illustrated with 24 illustrations by George Cruikshank. Unlike many children’s books, this 1876 printing includes bibliographic notes.

In 1812, Edgar Taylor was the first translator of “Grimm’s Fairy Tales” or “Kinder– und Hausmärchen,” and he wrote to the Grimms saying that he created the translations with “the amusement of some young friends principally in view”. (Susina, Oxford Companion to Fairy Tales).
