Household Stories by the Brothers Grimm by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm
"Household Stories by the Brothers Grimm" by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm is a collection of fairy tales first published in 1812. Two brothers, driven by tragedy and hardship to preserve their cultural heritage, gathered ancient folk stories from friends and old books across Germany. What began as 86 tales grew through seven editions into 200 stories that would shape Western children's literature forever. These weren't always the gentle bedtime stories we
know today—early editions sparked controversy for content deemed unsuitable for young readers. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
