Description
The fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm: Jacob & Wilhelm Grimm
Looking for a sweet, soothing tale to waft you toward dreamland?Look somewhere else.The stories collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in early 1800s serve up life as generations of central Europeans knew it- capricious and often cruel.The two brothers,patriots determined to preserve Germanic folktales,were only accidental entertainers.Once they saw how the tales bewitched young readers, the Grimms, and editors aplenty after them, started ”fixing” things.Tales gradually got softer,sweeter, and primly moral.Yet all the polishing never rubbed away the solid heart of the stories.
