The Brothers Grimm

The Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales

The Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales is a collection of German fairy tales first published in 1812 by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, the Brothers Grimm. For adults and children alike, this special edition rekindles the eternal magic of the Grimms' tales-the second most widely read collection of stories in the world after the Bible. Brothers Grimm kept updating their collection with newly gathered and recorded fairy tales. In their lifetime the fairy tale collection was translated into almost all European languages, while the German version already had six editions. This was The Grimms first experience of scientific studies and process of folklore and their first major success. For their exceptional scientific achievements modern researchers call them "fathers and founders of German philology."
