Grimm's Complete Fairy Tales (Barnes & Noble Collectible Editions)
(Author) Grimm BrothersGrimm's Fairy Tales is a collection of German fairy tales first published in 1812 by the Grimm brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm. The work of the Brothers Grimm influenced other collectors, both inspiring them to collect tales and leading them to similarly believe, in a spirit of romantic nationalism, that the fairy tales of a country were particularly representative of it, to the neglect of cross-cultural influence.
Grimm Brothers
The Grimm Brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm, were German folklorists and linguists who collected and published fairy tales and folklore that have become classics in children's literature. Their most notable work is "Grimm's Fairy Tales," a collection of stories such as "Cinderella," "Snow White," and "Hansel and Gretel." The brothers' meticulous research and preservation of traditional tales helped to establish the genre of fairy tales as a legitimate form of literature. Their works are characterized by a blend of dark themes, moral lessons, and fantastical elements. The Grimm Brothers' contribution to literature is immeasurable, as their stories have inspired countless adaptations, retellings, and interpretations across various mediums.
