The Golden Key: And Other Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm

The Golden Key: And Other Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimm (A Penguin Special from Viking)

The perfect Halloween literary treat: three Brothers Grimm fairy tales retold by Philip Pullman, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Golden Compass

Here are three enchanting Brothers Grimm fairy tales retold by one of the most accomplished authors of our time on their 200th anniversary. Philip Pullman, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the His Dark Materials trilogy, brings his gift for spinning tales of dark wonder to these stories that have long cast a spell on the Western imagination.

The Brothers Grimm are intimately familiar to us from such classic fairy tales as â€œHansel and Gretel,â€ â€œRumpelstiltskin,â€ â€œLittle Red Riding Hood,â€ â€œSleeping Beauty,â€ â€œSnow White,â€ â€œCinderella,â€ â€œThe Juniper Tree,â€ â€œRapunzel,â€ and â€œThe Frog King.â€ Pullmanâ€™s versions of the three stories in this Penguin Specialâ€”â€œThe Twelve Huntsmen,â€ â€œThe Buffalo-Hide Boots,â€ and â€œThe Golden Keyâ€â€”are not to be found anywhere else and are accompanied by personal commentary about their sources, history, and everlasting appeal. Theyâ€™re among Pullmanâ€™s favorite Grimm tales, and they supplement the fifty heâ€™s selected and retold in the upcoming volume Fairy Tales from the Brothers Grimmâ€”two of which, â€œThe Goose Girl at theÂ Springâ€ and â€œThe Three Snake Leaves,â€ appear here as bonus stories alongside the three feature stories.
