Grimm's fairy tales : retold in one-syllable words
A late nineteenth-century American children's collection of Grimm fairy tales, published in New York by McLoughlin Brothers in 1899 and retold in one-syllable words for young readers. Its pen-and-ink illustrations are simple, loose hatched line drawings of rustic village scenes, folk costume and animals, with a clear storytelling focus a designer could borrow for lively narrative line art.
