Over de Auteur
Joseph Jacobs was born in Sydney, Australia on August 29, 1854. After graduating from Cambridge University in 1876, he pursued a full and varied career, writing many essays for various periodicals including a famous series in 1882 on the Russian persecutions of the Jews. He also made his influence toon meer felt as a Jew by editing the first issues of The Jewish Yearbook (1896--99), serving as president of the Jewish Historical Society, and editing The Jewish Encyclopedia. He later served as professor of English at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City. His interest in folklore grew out of his studies in anthropology. From 1890 to 1893, he edited Folk Lore, a British journal on the subject. He also edited the Arabian Nights and Aesop's Fables and produced a series of fairy tale books. These fairy tale collections were the result of regular research in folklore, literature, anthropology, and other fields, and they are, perhaps, the works for which he is best remembered today. While other collectors of English folk tales rewrote or left out the crude language of the originals, he brought the vigor of colloquial English into his folk tale collections, and such memorable phrases as Fee-fi-fo-fum and chinny chin chin remain the strength of his contributions. He died on January 30, 1916. (Bowker Author Biography) toon minder

Deze collectie sprookjes werd rijkelijk geïllustreerd door John Batten. Net zoals de tekeningen van Anton Pieck in de lage landen bepalend waren voor de sfeer van de sprookjes van Grimm, versterken de prachtige tekeningen van Batten de soms bevreemdende sprookjessfeer en geven ze een extra dimensie. Een aanrader voor iedereen die, net als ik, zijn hart voelt trekken naar een ver verleden elke keer als hij een sprookjesboek openslaat.… (meer)
