This last week we were thinking about which book (or books) we might highlight in our next post, and suddenly came to the realization that we haven't done much with the fiction side of the collection lately.
Since December 20 marks the 200th anniversary of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm's publication of their first volume of Children's and Household Tales, this is the perfect time to let you know about the Bullis Collection's copy of Grimm's Fairy Tales (published by J. H. Sears & Co.). This book is showing its age, a result of being enjoyed by readers for a hundred years or so, but it's still readable.
So we invite you to stop by and again enjoy some of these two-centuries old stories.
And if any of you happen to have a copy of the Sears publication of Grimm's Fairy Tales, could you let us know the publication date of your copy? We'd appreciate it.
