The Brothers Grimm

The Brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm, were German scholars and folklorists best known for collecting and popularizing traditional folk tales in the 19th century. Their famous collection, "Grimm's Fairy Tales," includes stories like "Cinderella," "Hansel and Gretel," and "Snow White." Initially intended for adults, their tales often contained moral lessons and darker elements. The brothers contributed significantly to the study of linguistics and German culture, advocating for the preservation of folklore. Their work has influenced literature, media, and popular culture, making them iconic figures in the realm of storytelling and cultural heritage.
