Wilhelm Grimm

Grimms' Fairy Tales Wilhelm Grimm

A collection of fairy tales by the Grimm brothers or "Brothers Grimm", Jacob and Wilhelm, first published in 1812.
The world's most famous collection of children's stories began as an academic study for adults, when Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm collected German folklore in the 1800s.
The Grimms had not intended to publish a book of folktales. They wanted to resurrect the German oral tradition, but in the process, they ultimately curated a culturally encompassing collection of tales.
