The Grimm Brothers

I would like to introduce the Grimm Brothers to you,  because they inspirated a lot of childrens at every age  with their fabulous tales.





Jacob Ludwig Karl Grimm and Wilhelm Karl Grimm were two brothers born in Germany, who took as a profession the study of the philology and the folklore.


They crossed their country and were speaking with the peasants, with the people of the markets, with the woodcutters, to learn of them.
Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm were listening histories of the villagers, they were studying the language and the use of it,  etc.




They were going to many places, were interrogating the people, were asking them to submerge in their memory in search of the stories that were telling them of small, and were taking notes immediately.

The brothers Grimm, in these tours, were listening to the legends that the German peasants had heard their grandparents and that they had learned also of their grandparents.






The brothers Grimm obtained of a woman called Pastora most of the histories that then 

compiled as Stories for the infancy and the home, in two volumes, 1812-1815. And the collection is increased in 1857, and known as Fairy-tales of the brothers Grimm. Infantile and domestic stories, in 1812. These two brothers recreated the histories of the peasants, and told them prettily and great simplicity, and achieved that the children of the world were estimating the beauty and the marvel of their stories. They made know beautiful stories such as Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella, Rapunzel,
