Jacob Ludwig Carl Grimm (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Carl Grimm (1786- 1859) created some of the most iconic folk and fairy tales in the world. Well revered academics, philosophers, cultural researchers, and then celebrated authors, the brothers Grimm dedicated their lives to establishing the modern day study of folklore. Growing up during the rise of the Romantic movement, the brothers were among the first to capture and collect stories that have become some of the most influential of our time, such as Cinderella, The Frog Prince, and Rapunzel in their first volume of Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Children's and Household Tales).

Among many unique characters, the stories are filled with haunted forests, conniving creatures and evil witches. In this republished work of the Grimm's Fairy Tales, written by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, are tales that are equally as frightening as they are surprising and alluring. With classics like Snow White, The Frog Prince, and, Hansel and Gretel, these folktales have inspired the imaginations of readers everywhere.
