The Brothers Grimm Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were German academics best known for publishing collections of folk tales and fairy tales, which became popular. Jacob also did academic work in linguistics, related to how the sounds in words shift over time (Grimm's law), and together they wrote a German dictionary.
They are among the best-known story tellers of folk tales from Europe, and their work popularized such tales as “Rumpelstiltskin” (German: Rumpelstilzchen), "Snow White" (German: Schneewittchen), "Sleeping Beauty" (German: Dornröschen), “Rapunzel”, "Cinderella" (German: Aschenputtel), "Hansel and Gretel" (German: Hänsel und Gretel), and "The Frog Prince" (German: Der Froschkönig).

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Old-fashioned, often broken typeface and Arthur Rackham's gloriously reproduced original artwork accompany 22 stories in a new edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales, originally published in 1909. A sepia-toned illustration for "Red Riding Hood" shows the cloaked girl meeting the bristly wolf, dwarfed by endlessly tall, bare trees. A caption in "The Bremen Town Musicians" recalls the bygone era: "They came upon a Cat, sitting in the road, with a face as long as a wet week." ( Sept.)
