'The wolf thought to himself, What a tender young creature what a nice plump mouthful - she will be better to eat than the old woman. I must act craftily, so as to catch both.'
Collected by the German Grimm brothers, these folk tales have captured the imaginations of children and adults alike since they were first published in 1812. The best-known stories such as The Golden Goose, Hansel and Gretel, The Frog Prince, and Snow-White and Rose-Red remain as popular today as when first told, although there is an underlying darkness and violence to the original stories that has softened over time.
Jacob Grimm (1785-1863) and his brother, Wilhelm, are most famous for their classical collections of folk songs and folktales, especially Children's and Household Tales, which is generally known as Grimm's Fairy Tales. Wilhelm Grimm (1786-1859) and his brother, Jacob, are most famous for their classical collections of folk songs and folktales, especially Children's and Household Tales, which is generally known as Grimm's Fairy Tales. Charles Perrault (1628-1703) was a French author who is best known for his Stories or Tales from Times Past, with Morals: Tales of Mother Goose, which opened up fairytales as a new literary genre.
