About the author
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, known as the Brothers Grimm, were German scholars, linguists, and folklorists whose groundbreaking work in collecting and preserving traditional folktales has left an enduring impact on literature and culture. Born in Hanau, Germany—Jacob in 1785 and Wilhelm in 1786—the brothers were deeply influenced by the Romantic movement and the rich oral storytelling traditions of their homeland. They dedicated their lives to academic pursuits, contributing significantly to fields like philology and Germanic studies. However, they are most celebrated for Grimm's Fairytales, a collection that brought to light the dark and fantastical world of German folklore. Their tales, first published in the early 19th century, were both a cultural preservation project and a way to explore the archetypal themes that define humanity, from bravery and trickery to love and fate. The Grimms' dedication to cataloging these stories helped lay the foundation for modern studies of folklore and mythology, making their work timeless and beloved worldwide.
