Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales (Gothic Fantasy)

I wanted the edition translated by Jack Zipes, which is supposed to be the best actual translation of the 1812 version. Whoever listed this book misrepresented it. Zipes wrote the forward, so this is NOT his 1812 translation. I’m tired of sending books back to Amazon because of out of control third party sellers who can’t follow rules. I’m going to keep it and order the correct one. Ugh…

Not as advertised! If you read the blurb carefully, it does say that Jack Zipes wrote the foreword -- only. However, the author's description leads the consumer to believe it is his translation. But this is not the case: it is the older, Victorian era version by Margaret Hunt, which is now in the public domain. A good translation, but superseded by Jack Zipes's more recent efforts -- especially his 3rd edition. I will think the matter over, but will probably return the book!
