W 1981 The Brothers Grimm: Favorite Household Tales

Notes

The Brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm, were German scholars and folklorists who collected and published folklore during the 19th century. Their most famous work, Grimm's Fairy Tales, includes iconic stories like "Cinderella," "Hansel and Gretel," "Snow White," and "Rumpelstiltskin." Originally gathered from oral traditions, these tales were often dark and cautionary, reflecting the cultural and moral values of the time. The Grimms' work not only preserved Germanic folklore but also influenced literature and popular culture worldwide, cementing their legacy as pioneers in the study of folklore.
