Brothers Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm were born in 1785 and 1786, respectively, in Hanau, then part of the Holy Roman Empire, but now part of Germany. In 1812, they published Kinder- und Hausmärchen, or Children’s- and Household Tales, from which this English edition was translated by Edgar Taylor and Marian Edwardes. This edition has been lightly edited for clarity.

Content note: Although these tales would have been considered appropriate for children of all ages in their time, some parental guidance may be advisable. Topics in these tales include the death of human beings and animals.
