Household Tales by Brothers Grimm

by Jacob Grimm

"Household Tales by Brothers Grimm" by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm is a collection of fairy tales first published in 1812. Born into hardship after their father's death, the brothers collected oral tales from friends and acquaintances to preserve German history and folklore. The first volume contained 86 stories, expanding to 210 tales by the seventh edition in 1857. Though called "Children's Tales," early editions drew criticism for content unsuitable for young readers, prompting revisions across subsequent editions. This seminal work shaped Western children's literature forever. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Translated by Mrs. Alfred William Hunt. Reading ease score: 82.4 (6th grade). Easy to read. Originally issued 2004-03-01.
