Penguin Classics<\/a> has confirmed that they will be publishing Pullman’s take on the Grimm fairy tales on the 6th of September this year, with the title Grimm Tales: For Young and Old<\/em>.

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m telling the best of the tales in my own voice, and I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m finding it a great purifier of narrative thinking, rather as a pianist relishes playing Bach\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s preludes and fugues as a sort of palate-cleansing discipline.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nIt has now been revealed that the book will feature Pullman’s 50 favourite tales including Rapunzel<\/em>, Snow White<\/em> and Cinderella<\/em>, but also lesser known tales including The Three Snake Leaves<\/em>, Hans-my-hedgehog<\/em>, and Godfather Death<\/em>. Pullman has said his favourite Grimm Tale is The Juniper Tree<\/em>. The book will also include analysis of each tale, and an introduction discussing the legacy of Grimms’ Fairy Tales<\/em> and no doubt the influence they have had on Philip Pullman’s own writing.<\/p>\n
