About the author
Jacob Grimm (1785–1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786–1859) were German scholars, linguists, and folklorists who became famous for collecting and preserving traditional European folk stories. They are best known as the creators of Grimms' Fairy Tales (Children’s and Household Tales), first published in 1812.
The brothers collected stories from oral traditions and transformed them into written works that preserved German folklore and cultural heritage. Their collection includes many world-famous tales such as “Cinderella,” “Snow White,” “Rapunzel,” “Hansel and Gretel,” and “Sleeping Beauty.” Beyond folklore, they made important contributions to linguistics, mythology, and German language studies.
