    About this ebook

    The Brothers Grimm, Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm (1786-1859), were born in Hanau, near Frankfurt, in the German state of Hesse. Throughout their lives they remained close friends, and both studied law at Marburg University. But they were best (and universally) known for the collection of over two hundred folk tales they made from oral sources and published in two volumes of 'Nursery and Household Tales' in 1812 and 1814. Although their intention was to preserve such material as part of German cultural and literary history, and their collection was first published with scholarly notes and no illustration, the tales soon came into the possession of young readers. This was in part due to Edgar Taylor, who made the first English translation in 1823, selecting about fifty stories 'with the amusement of some young friends principally in view.' They have been an essential ingredient of children's reading ever since.

    The Brothers Grimm

    Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Carl Grimm (1786- 1859) created some of the most iconic folk and fairy tales in the world. Well revered academics, philosophers, cultural researchers, and then celebrated authors, the brothers Grimm dedicated their lives to establishing the modern day study of folklore. Growing up during the rise of the Romantic movement, the brothers were among the first to capture and collect stories that have become some of the most influential of our time, such as Cinderella, The Frog Prince, and Rapunzel in their first volume of Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Children’s and Household Tales).
