Grimms' Fairy Tales Part 1

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, known as the Brothers Grimm, were 19th-century German linguists and folklorists. They collected and published folk tales from across Germany in Grimm’s Fairy Tales, one of the most influential works in world folklore. Beyond storytelling, they were devoted scholars who explored the origins of language and national identity. The brothers also spent much of their lives compiling the Deutsches Wörterbuch, a monumental dictionary of the German language. Their contributions profoundly shaped Romanticism, modern linguistics, and the preservation of cultural heritage.
