An Early Fright In Styria, we, though by no means magnificent people, inhabit a castle, or schloss. A small income, in that part of the world, goes a great way. Eight or nine hundred a year does wonders. Scantily enough ours would have answered among wealthy people at home.
My father is English, and I bear an English name, although I never saw England. But here, in this lonely and primitive place, where everything is so marvellously cheap, I real]y don't see how ever so much more money would at all materially add to our comforts, or even luxuries. My father was in the Austrian service, and retired upon a pension and his patrimony, and purchased this feudal residence, and the small estate on which it stands, a bargain. Nothing can be more picturesque or solitary. Over all this the schloss shows its many-windowed front; its towers, and its Gothic chapel. Respecting the cause of the desertion of this striking and melancholy spot, there is a legend which I shall relate to you another time. The Raven by Edgar Allan Poe Illustrated by Gustave Dor. Grimmtmp from cmu.edu - StumbleUpon. This book contains 209 tales collected by the brothers Grimm.
The exact print source is unknown. The etext appears to be based on the translation by Margaret Hunt called Grimm's Household Tales, but it is not identical to her edition. (Some of the translations are slightly different, the arrangement also differs, and the Grimm's scholarly notes are not included.) The etext received by the Universal Library did not include story titles. Note that these tales are presented more or less as the Grimms collected and edited them (and as Hunt saw fit to translate them).
NEW: There is now a more accurate version of the Hunt translation posted by William Barker. Roald Dahl - The Official Web Site.
