"Once upon a time..." The Montblanc Writers Edition Homage to Brothers Grimm is dedicated to Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm and celebrates their work on German and European folk tales among which are some of the most famous fairy tales such as "Snow White", "Cinderella" and "Sleeping Beauty". The overall silhouette of the writing instrument is shaped like an old hiking stick. Made from metal with a special vintage coating, this edition finds inspiration in the story of "Sleeping Beauty" demonstrated by the twining leaves and thorns around the cap and barrel. The cap is crowned by the Montblanc Emblem in precious Mother-of-Pearl. The platinum-coated clip, reminiscent of a knobby piece of wood, surprisingly reveals the silhouette of the profile of the Brothers Grimm when turned. As an homage to the magic of storytelling, the handcrafted Au 750 solid bi-color gold nib with rhodium coating bears flames which were often the setting around which folklore stories were passed on.

Jacob Ludwig Karl Grimm and Wilhelm Carl Grimm, together known as The Brothers Grimm, were authors and lexicographers from 19th century Germany. Best known for their famous collection of European folk tales, including Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty, the traditional stories they amassed and published are still beloved around the world today.

“Where is literature truly alive if not where it reaches the soul, where it cools and refreshes or where it warms and strengthens?” – Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm
