Originally published as a two-volume set forty years ago, The Juniper Tree is distinguished first by the selection of stories. Lore Segal and Maurice Sendak jointly culled 27 from the 210 in the complete collection, and their contents page presents a fascinating critical statement. The translations are another distinguishing quality of the Segal/Sendak edition. Both translators have been painstakingly faithful to the German texts; they have not cut, "retold," or bowdlerized. In addition, Segal and Jarrell bring to their renderings of Grimm the grace and precision that are characteristic of their own original prose.

· One of the most acclaimed Grimm collections published in English, available again

· An elegant, must-have edition for every home library

· New lower-price of $19.99, formerly $28.00

Editorial Reviews

Review

“A work of art, a work of love, a collector's item.” ―Chicago Tribune Book World

“Maurice Sendak has drawn what must be some of his finest pictures for this book . . . The Juniper Tree returns Grimm to the whole family.” ―The Boston Globe

“[Segal and Sendak] favor the odd, the pungent, the ambiguous; their Grimm has a salty, unfamiliar taste . . . Segal's translations achieve the spoken quality the Grimms aimed for . . . Sendak's drawings are monumental, hypnotic . . . I only wish the Segal-Sendak Grimm had existed when I was young.” ―Walter Clemons, Newsweek

“[An] uncommon collection of 27 folktales--among them the strangest, most grotesque, mysterious and haunting in Grimm. The pictures are superb, and come from the darker, stranger side of [Sendak's] genius.” ―The New York Times Book Review

“The abiding value of the Segal/Sendak collection is that it can be read over and over, and each time one will discover a sparkling mot juste that Mrs. Segal has implanted in the text, and each time the study of Mr. Sendak's drawings will show forth a felicity not seen before. These two geniuses soar and dance together in the empyrean.” ―The New Yorker

Bizarre, lovely book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 1, 2013

Verified Purchase

I am no literary scholar - just a mom who likes to read - so I speak from my own personal taste when I rate this book.

With that disclaimer, let me say that I really prefer these old, simple, original tales to the Disney and other adaptations of them. Their unsterilized, unadorned honesty speaks to something deep within the human psyche. As strange as it sounds, I found a lot of comfort in these fairy tales, gruesome as some of them are. I was even deeply moved by a few of them. This particular edition has the fascinating illustrations of Maurice Sendak - who more perfect to illustrate Grimm? It was a fun way to revisit some classics that I already knew and be introduced to some more obscure, less well known tales.

My daughter may not quite be ready to hear these (we're still enjoying nursery rhymes), but when she is old enough, this is how I would love to introduce her to the genre. After all, this is the kind of fairy tale I remember vividly from my childhood - dark, dangerous, haunting, lovely.

Sendak in black and white.....

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 2, 2015

Verified Purchase

A wonderful collection in a cozy book set! Small enough for little hands but stories and fairy tales that pack a BIG punch. So much fun in such a small (size-wise) set. Perfect for bedtime stories and afternoon fun. The illustrations done by Maurice Sendak are black and white and bring elaborate detail to the tales. The slip case also has a Sendak sketch encapsulating the 27 stories chosen by Sendak and Segal of their 110. A very different take then the typical picture books done by Sendak that we are most familiar. A real treasure.

Essential for the artist/illustrator's library shelf.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 31, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a wonderful, inspiring classic by one of the great masters of illustration. Sendak's pen & ink illustrations are simply gorgeous. So glad that it was released once again, as the first edition (which came as two volumes in a slipcase) are mostly well-loved, worn and expensive to buy used. This edition is just the way I remember the older edition, but in a single volume.

responsibility to family love and ill-begotten allegiance to the King

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

It is an enchanted volume of sublime grime and sunshine - old fashioned lessons on consequences and healing, responsibility to family love and ill-begotten allegiance to the King. I love the book and can actually imagine them begging me to read, "just one more story, just one more, Grandmama, please, please."

Beloved Childhood Book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 31, 2000

Verified Purchase

As a child I found this book at a garage sale. It instantly became one of my most treasured books - that was over 20 years ago. It has some of the most interesting Fairy Tales, many have a slightly "different twist" than your typical tales (some outright silly while others dark and bit disturbing). Most of the stories are 3 to 5 pages long and are very quick reading, and the sketched illustrations are beautifully detailed. Excellent stories for children and adults alike. With my current copy falling apart - I was happy to see the book has been re-issued!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 29, 2007

Verified Purchase

You won't find any pixy dust in this adaptation of German fairy tales. Delving into the strange and bizarre, these stories aren't the kind you want to be reading your 4 year old before they go to bed at night. Simplistic in writing, engaging in content, entertaining in substance, these are great short stories for someone who enjoys the abnormal, the peculiar, and the extraordinary.

A double masterpiece

This translation of what was already a world classic is an English-language masterpiece in its own rite. Lore Segal's reproductions of colloquial English are among the finest in English literature.
