Books By Jacob Grimm, Wilhelm Grimm, Arthur Rackham - Author

The Brothers Grimm-Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm (1786-1859)-set out to make careers as lawyers, but found themselves more attracted to literature, poetry, and folktales. With the publication in 1812 of Children's and HouseholdTales, a collection of folktales from the oral traditions of several countries, they became recognized as the preeminent scholars and translators of fairy and folktales.
