Children''s and Household Tales (German: Kinder- und Hausm�rchen) is a collection of German fairy tales first published in 1812 by the Grimm brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm. The collection is commonly known in English as Grimm''s Fairy Tales.

They saw their work in gathering the fairy tales of Europe as an academic exercise, but the Brothers Grimm-aka German folklorists and linguists JAKOB (1785-1863) and WILHELM GRIMM (1786-1859)-are today remembered best as tellers of dark stories for children. Here, in one compact volume, are 53 of the most beloved of the stories they assembled, from well-known ones such as "The Sleeping Beauty," "The Frog Prince," "Rapunzel," and "Hansel and Grethel" to more obscure ones including "The Rabbit''s Bride," "Six Soldiers of Fortune," "Faithful John," and "The Three Spinsters." A treasury of classic stories, this replica of an 1886 edition-translated by English writer LUCY CRANE (1842-1882), with beautiful line drawings by her brother, William Crane-will delight children and adults alike.

The original vision of Grimms'' tales in English for the first time When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm published their Children''s and Household Tales in 1812, followed by a second volume in 1815, they had no idea that such stories as "Rapunzel," "Hansel and Gretel," and "Cinderella" would become the most celebrated in the world. Yet few people today are familiar with the majority of tales from the two early volumes, since in the next four decades the Grimms would publish six other editions, each extensively revised in content and style. For the very first time, The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm makes available in English all 156 stories from the 1812 and 1815 editions. These narrative gems, newly translated and brought together in one beautiful book, are accompanied by sumptuous new illustrations from award-winning artist Andrea Dezsö. From "The Frog King" to "The Golden Key," wondrous worlds unfold—heroes and heroines are rewarded, weaker animals triumph over the strong, and simple bumpkins prove themselves not so simple after all. Esteemed fairy tale scholar Jack Zipes offers accessible translations that retain the spare description and engaging storytelling style of the originals. Indeed, this is what makes the tales from the 1812 and 1815 editions unique—they reflect diverse voices, rooted in oral traditions, that are absent from the Grimms'' later, more embellished collections of tales. Zipes''s introduction gives important historical context, and the book includes the Grimms'' prefaces and notes. A delight to read, The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm presents these peerless stories to a whole new generation of readers.

Grimm''s Fairy Stories weaves an enchanting tapestry of folklore that peeks into the vibrant stratum of early 19th-century Germanic storytelling tradition. At its core, the collection is an homage to the mystical narrative, honed with a literary style that simultaneously captivates children and adults alike. The Grimm brothers meticulously preserved oral fables with their inherent moral lessons and supernatural elements, while also imbuing them with literary sophistication. This tome of fairy tales, with its exquisitely drawn princesses, wiccans, and an array of fantastical beings, is not merely a retelling, but a legacy of the European narrative art form set against the backdrop of the Romantic movement''s valorization of folklore and natural wisdom. Jacob Grimm, alongside his brother Wilhelm, embarked on a mission to document the fading oral tradition of Germanic folktales, believing in the cultural importance of these narratives. Grimm, an academic with a profound interest in philology and myth, set out to preserve these stories in their purest form. The brothers'' scholarly approach underscored a deep reverence for the authenticity of the tales, as well as a recognition of their pedagogical value. The stories in this collection stand as a testament to Jacob''s dedication to capturing the zeitgeist of his era and the cultural ethos of German-speaking peoples. Grimm''s Fairy Stories is recommended for those who cherish the whimsy of fairy tales as much as they value the study of cultural heritage. The book is suited for readers who seek both escape into the fantastical and insight into the moral and social constructs reflected in these age-old narratives. Grimm''s meticulous preservation of folktales offers a timeless trove that illuminates the human condition, rendering this collection an essential addition to the library of both the casual reader and the discerning scholar.

In school, their grandfather wrote to them saying that because of their current situation, they needed to apply themselves industriously to secure their future welfare. Shortly after attending Lyzeum, their grandfather died and they were again left to themselves to support their family in the future. The two became intent on becoming the best students at Lyzeum, since they wanted to live up to their deceased father. They studied more than twelve hours a day and established similar work habits. They also shared the same bed and room at school. After four years of rigorous schooling, Jacob graduated head of his class in 1802. Wilhelm contracted asthma and scarlet fever, which delayed his graduation by one year although he was also head of his class. Both were given special dispensations for studying law at the University of Marburg. They particularly needed this dispensation because their social standing at the time was not high enough to have normal admittance. University of Marburg was a small, 200-person university where most students were more interested in activities other than schooling. Most of the students received stipends even though they were the richest in the state. The Grimms did not receive any stipends because of their social standing; however, they were not upset by it since it kept the distractions away
