PHILIP PULLMANFairy Tales from the Brothers GrimmA New English VersionThe New York Times-bestselling author retells the world’s best-loved fairy tales—from favorites like “Cinderella” to lesser-known treasures like “The Three Snake Leaves” and “Godfather Death”— on their 200th anniversary. At the end of each tale, Pullman offers brief commentary that sheds light on the historical sources of these fantastic stories, dis-cusses the various forms fairy tales have taken over the centuries, and explains why they maintain a special place in Western imagination. “[A] pitch-perfect retelling…Pullman reminds us that the stories have lost none of their relevance or racing energy, even two hundred years after they were written down. As storyteller and sage, he preserves the flavors and aromas of fine, old wines from times past and delivers them to us in sparkling new bottles.”—Maria Tatar, Harvard University“All of [Pullman’s] gifts, including his prose eloquence and his endless high Romantic imagination, are manifested in this marvelous retelling.” —Harold Bloom, Yale University PENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 432 PP. • 978-0-14-310729-3 • $18.00

VIDAR HREINSSON, editorComic Sagas and Tales from IcelandIntroduction and Notes by the editor The capstone volume in Penguin Classics’ celebrated series of Icelandic sagas brings together stylistically innovative Icelandic stories from the 13th to 15th centuries that reflect the region’s oral culture and its people’s conversion to Christianity. “This collection of strange and difficult-to-categorize pieces is comic not in the usual sense, but rather, as Vidar explains in his excellent introduction, in the sense of reading counter to the Icelandic family sagas, whose narratives he terms tragic. The stories here are edgy, subversive, and often grim little narratives, in striking contrast to the humane, wise and sometimes uplifting family sagas.”—The Times Literary SupplementPENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK • 368 • 978-0-14-044774-3 • $17.00

LUDMILLA PETRUSHEVSKAYAThere Once Lived a Woman Who Tried to Kill Her Neighbor’s Baby Translated with an Introduction by Keith Gessen and Anna Summers“[These] deceptively simple tales unfold in a shadowy borderland between reality and nightmare, between life and death, where saints and witches walk alongside present-day murderers and drunks, where wintry woods and murky basements become matter-of-fact settings for the end of the world and Christ’s second coming. This land is dark, haunt-ed, often terrifying; but every ten or fifteen pages one is suddenly blinded by a bright flash of light—some small act of humanity, some shy movement of soul, a heartbreaking moment of redemption or revelation…. This is an extraordinary, powerful collection by a master of the Russian short story.”—Olga Grushin, author of The Dream Life of SukhanovPENGUIN PAPERBACK • 224 PP. • 978-0-14-311466-6 • $15.00

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight Chivalry, Seduction, and a Challenge to the DeathTranslated with an Introduction by Bernard O’Donoghue“O’Donoghue, one of the best Anglo-Irish poets writ-ing today and a distinguished student of medieval lit-erature, has translated the 14th-century Middle English romance Sir Gawain and the Green Knight with an ear for poetry, an eye for detail, and a poet’s understanding of the ways in which the fantastic and the dangerous, the familiar and the imagined, weave their way through this extraordinary narrative. His is not only the best trans-lation now available, it is also a work of art by itself.” —John C. Hirsh, Georgetown UniversityPENGUIN CLASSICS PAPERBACK 128 PP. • 978-0-14-139370-4 • $14.00
