About the Author
Jacob Ludwig Karl Grimm (1785–1863) and Wilhelm Carl Grimm (1786–1859) were German folklorists, academics, linguists, and cultural researchers best known for collecting and publishing German and European folk tales during the nineteenth century. The Brothers Grimm revolutionized the methodology for collecting and recording oral folk tales, folk music, and legends that became the foundation of folklore studies today. Their classic collection Kinderund Hausmärchen (now known worldwide as Grimms’ Fairy Tales) was published first in 1812 and popularized many beloved modern-day children’s stories. By the publication of its seventh edition in 1857, the stories had grown from 86 to 210 and included some of the best-known fairy tales of all time such as “Snow White,” “Cinderella,” “Hansel and Gretel,” “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “Rumpelstiltskin,” “The Frog Prince,” and more.
