Grimm's Fairy Tales by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm
QR code
"Grimm's Fairy Tales" by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm is a collection of fairy tales first published in 1812. Two brothers gathered these stories from oral traditions and old books to preserve German folklore and history. Starting with 86 tales, the collection grew through seven editions to include 200 stories by 1857. These tales, initially criticized as unsuitable for children, became the foundation of Western children's literature. The brothers revised and expanded
their work over decades, creating a treasure of stories recognized by UNESCO. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
