About Folklore & Fairy Tales
The Brothers Grimm published their first volume of Children's and Household Tales in 1812, collecting stories from neighbors and friends around Kassel. Giants, witches, cursed princes and wishes granted at a price filled those pages, and most of them had been told aloud for generations before anyone wrote them down.
