The Brothers Grimm

The Brothers Grimm — Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm (1786-1859) Grimm — were German academics, linguists and cultural researchers who collected and published some of the world's most famous fairy tales, including Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel and Hansel and Gretel. Their collections of folk tales, gathered from oral tradition across the German-speaking world, have become foundational texts of world literature and have been translated into virtually every language on earth. Their books and audiobooks continue to delight and enchant readers and listeners of all ages with stories that have shaped the imagination of humanity for over two centuries.
