... ist dies womoglich gar das schonste Marchenbuch im Land? Anlasslich des 200. Jubilaums des ersten Bandes ihrer "Kinder- und Hausmarchen" erweckt Die Marchen der Bruder Grimm siebenundzwanzig der beliebtesten Geschichten der Bruder Jacob und Wilhelm wieder zum Leben, darunter Klassiker wie Aschenputtel, Schneewittchen, Dornroschen sowie Hansel und Gretel in der originalen Fassung von 1857. Und es ware nicht TASCHEN, wenn die Bebilderung dahinter zuruckbliebe: Werke legendarer Kinderbuch-Illustratoren des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts wie Kay Nielsen (ein fuhrender Exponent des „Goldenen Zeitalters der Illustration“, das in den zwanziger Jahren endete), dem Arts-and-Craft-Meister Walter Crane, dem Schweizer Werbegrafiker Herbert Leupin (sein Dornroschen-Schloss aus den 1940ern erinnert an Musical-Buhnenbilder von damals) oder den in Grunderzeit-Kinderzimmern omniprasenten Illustratoren Heinrich Leutemann, Gustav Sus und Viktor Paul Mohn. Hinzu gesellen sich Schattenrisse aus historischen Grimm-Editionen sowie neue Vignetten, die eigens fur diese Ausgabe angefertigt wurden und nun wie schwarze Spitze uber die Seiten tanzen. Erganzt wird das Feuerwerk der Phantasie durch ein Vorwort zum Erbe der Grimms, kurze Einfuhrungen zu jedem Marchen sowie einem Anhang mit den Biografien der Kunstler, von denen einige inzwischen fast vergessen sind.

Dix-sept histoires de surnaturelle-fiction qui commencent tres, tres mal... Preface de Janine Boissard. Commentaires, notices et notes de Jean Bessiere.
