Title: bad translation
Product review: I bought this for a course on German Fairy Tales. Several people in the class had this edition, although it was not the one specified by the professor.The professor was continually surprised by the poor quality of the translation (he is a native german speaker and studies these stories).As just one example, Rapunzel is named after the variety of lettuce that her parents stole. For some reason this book decided to translate that plant into "radishes" without changing her name.There are other stories too, that are just... missing something.The stories are great, but you can find better translations of them (even for free online). Don't buy this edition.
