El Sastre Que Llegó Al Cielo Y Otros Cuentos - by Jacob Grimm (Paperback)

About the Book

This edition brings together seventeen stories that were not subject to the alterations carried out by Wilhelm, and are, therefore, those closest to the source from which they were extracted. By reading it you will understand how long and difficult the task of both brothers was from the moment they began the process of writing down the first compiled texts until reaching the versions that we know today. These stories are practically unknown to the general public, since they all appeared in magazines or newspapers, in isolation and outside the numerous editions of the collection made during the brothers' lifetime. Precisely for this reason they have remained in their original form.
