The Brothers Grimm



I have a slight obsession with books. Not just reading, but sometimes with the books themselves. If it’s pretty, I’ll probably want it. My house is full of chunky coffee table books, design books, cook books…and a healthy collection of kids’ books (or unhealthy depending on how you look at it). To me, books are like flowers in a room: they just complete the look.
It’s been 200 years since the aforementioned German bros published their first collection of folk tales. In honor of this anniversary, Taschen has created a beautiful collection of twenty seven fairy tales of The Brothers Grimm. Yes, after 30 years, Taschen has published its first kid’s book! This is one of the most beautiful kids’ books I’ve ever seen, so I hope they continue! The illustrations are killer.

Everyone needs a copy of this gorgeous book. Even Martha (the Queen) said so on her show earlier this year. It will be available at French Toast this Spring, but in the meantime, get it here (if you must).
