The Brothers Grimm, Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm (1786-1859), were born in Hanau, near Frankfurt, in the German state of Hesse. The brothers were close friends, and both studied law at Marburg University. They are best (and universally) known for the collection of over two hundred folk tales they made from oral sources and published in two volumes of 'Nursery and Household Tales' in 1812 and 1814. Their intention was to preserve such these stories as part of German cultural and literary history, and their collection was first published with scholarly notes and no illustration. The tales, however, soon came into the possession of young readers. This was in part due to Edgar Taylor, who made the first English translation in 1823, selecting about fifty stories 'with the amusement of some young friends principally in view.' Grimm’s fairy tales have been an essential ingredient of children's reading ever since.The Collection•The Golden Bird•Hans In Luck•Jorinda And Jorindel•The Travelling Musicians•Old Sultan•The Straw, The Coal, And The Bean•Briar Rose•The Dog And The Sparrow•The Twelve Dancing Princesses•The Fisherman And His Wife•The Willow-Wren And The Bear•The Frog-Prince•Cat And Mouse In Partnership•The Goose-Girl•The Adventures Of Chanticleer And Partlet•Rapunzel•Fundevogel•The Valiant Little Tailor•Hansel And Gretel•The Mouse, The Bird, And The Sausage•Mother Holle•Little Red-Cap [Little Red Riding Hood]•The Robber Bridegroom•Tom Thumb•Rumpelstiltskin•Clever Gretel•The Old Man And His Grandson•The Little Peasant•Frederick And Catherine•Sweetheart Roland•Snowdrop•The Pink•Clever Elsie•The Miser In The Bush•Ashputtel•The White Snake•The Wolf And The Seven Little Kids•The Queen Bee•The Elves And The Shoemaker•The Juniper-Tree•The Turnip•Clever Hans•The Three Languages•The Fox And The Cat•The Four Clever Brothers•Lily And The Lion•The Fox And The Horse•The Blue Light•The Raven•The Golden Goose•The Water Of Life•The Twelve Huntsmen•The King Of The Golden Mountain•Doctor Knowall•The Seven Ravens•The Wedding Of Mrs Fox•The Salad•The Story Of The Youth Who Went Forth To Learn What Fear Was•King Grisly-Beard•Iron Hans•Cat-Skin•Snow-White And Rose-RedExtraIncluded is also an audiobook version of the entire collection.Finally a number of popular English fairy tales from the same period is also included.

Grimms' Fairy Tales, originally known as the Children's and Household Tales (German: Kinder- und Hausmärchen, pronounced [ˌkɪndɐ ʔʊnt ˈhaʊsmɛːɐ̯çən]), is a collection of fairy tales by the Grimm brothers or "Brothers Grimm", Jakob and Wilhelm, first published on 20 December 1812. The first edition contained 86 stories, and by the seventh edition in 1857, had 210 unique fairy tales. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were two of eight children from their mother Dorothea (Née Zimmer) and father Philipp Wilhelm Grimm. Philipp was a highly regarded district magistrate in Steinau, near Kassel. Jacob and Wilhelm were sent to school for a classical education once they were of age, while their father was working. They were very hard-working pupils throughout their education. They followed in their father’s footsteps and started to pursue a degree in law. However, in 1796, their father died at the age of 44 from pneumonia. This was a tragic time for the Grimms because the family lost all financial support and relied on their aunt, Henriette Zimmer, and grandfather, Johanne Hermann Zimmer. At the age of 11, Jacob was compelled to be head of the household and provide for his family. After down-sizing their home because of financial reasons, Henriette sent Jacob and Wilhelm to study at the prestigious high school, Lyzeum, in Kassel. 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.

This collection of Grimms' Fairy Tales features the original stories by which many popular books, movies, and plays were inspired. With stories such as Snow White, The Frog Prince, Hansel and Gretel, and many more, Grimms' Fairy Tales were among the first collections of stories and have since become some of the most influential of our time. Unlike the Hollywood adaptations of some of these most treasured stories, the collected stories of the Grimms brothers are just that – grim. You won’t find gentle happily-ever-after’s--each tale is delightfully twisted and sprinkled with some sort of wickedness on every page. In this edition you’ll come to explore the world of grouchy old women and devilishly tricky creatures as you make your way through the ever enthralling stories that make up the Grimms' Fairy Tales.
