From the land of fantastical castles, vast lakes and deep forests, the Brothers Grimm collected a treasury of enchanting folk and fairy stories full of giants and dwarfs, witches and princesses, magical beasts and cunning children.
Brothers Grimm (Author)
Jacob Ludwig Carol Grimm (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Carl Grimm
(1786-1859), universally known as 'the brothers Grimm', were born
in the German state of Hesse. Their ambition was to collect
traditional tales in order to preserve Germany's heritage. They
published two volumes in 1812 and 1814 which include some of the
best-known fairy tales of all time, such as 'Tom Thumb' and 'The
Elves and the Shoemaker'.
