List of Books by Brothers Grimm

When Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, aka the Brothers Grimm, set out to collect stories in the early 1800s, their goal was not to entertain children but to preserve Germanic folklore. Once the brothers saw how the stories entranced young readers, however, they began softening some of the harsher aspects to make them more suitable for children. A cornerstone of Western culture since the beginning of the 19th century, Grimm's Fairy Tales featuring their iconic stories like "Rapunzel", "The Frog Prince", "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", "Cinderella" and "Little Red Riding Hood" is now one of the world's most beloved books.

Find all the iconic Brothers Grimm fairy tales at Barnes & Noble. Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm collected and wrote down the beloved fairy tales in part to preserve stories of German folklore that held an important place in their hearts. Little did they know that their stories like ""The Frog Prince"" and ""Little Red Riding Hood"" would weave their way into the hearts of children of all different cultures and nationalities. The first book version of Grimm's Fairy Tales was published in 1812 and at that time many of the stories were not yet suitable for young children. Many of the fantastical stories by Brothers Grimm feature moral lessons that include particularly unsettling elements like dark magic, cruelty, violence, horror and even death. Although quite frightening, in the past these dark themes where used to teach children that wrong actions can have bad consequences. In the 20th century as Disney movies took over the fairy tale landscape, Grimm's original fairy tales like ""Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"", ""Cinderella"" and ""Sleeping Beauty"" were adapted into kid friendly films that modified some of the brothers' original stories. Although we carry Brothers Grimm's original ""Rapunzel"" story, Disney's Tangled gives viewers a toned down and more heartwarming version of the fairy tale about the young lady with extraordinarily long hair.
