Kinder- und Hausmärchen

"Kinder- und Hausmärchen," or "Children's and Household Tales," is a collection of fairy tales compiled by the Brothers Grimm in the 19th century. These stories, such as "Cinderella" and "Snow White," originated from oral traditions across Germany and Europe. The collection aimed to preserve folk narratives that reflected cultural values, morals, and lessons through imaginative, often fantastical stories involving magical creatures, heroes, and moral dilemmas. Over time, these tales became influential classics, blending entertainment with cultural heritage and serving as foundational works in the history of fairy tales and storytelling.
