About the author
Wilhelm Grimm
3,279 books516 followersOne year after Jakob Ludwig Karl Grimm started studying law at the University of Marburg, his younger brother, German author Wilhelm Karl Grimm, followed.
In 1825, Wilhelm married Henriette Dorothea Wild, also known as Dortchen. Together they parented four children: Jakob Grimm (1826-1826), Herman Friedrich Grimm (1828-1901), Rudolf Georg Grimm (1830-1889), and Auguste Luise Pauline Marie (1832-1919).
From 1837 to 1841, the Grimm brothers joined five of their colleague professors at the University of Göttingen to form a group, known as the Göttinger sieben. They protested against Ernst August, king of Hanover, whom they accused of violating the constitution. The king fired all seven professors.
Wilhelm Grimm died in Berlin.

5/5 Stars (%90/100)
Even though there are many editions of Grimm's Fairy Tales, this one is the best in my opinion. It is well organized, complete and I especially LOVED the illustrations. I have 3 other editions of the book but after some examination, I decided to read this one. I think this is a must-have book for anyone. Most of us grew up with these stories and it is still fun to read them when you are an adult. It is also great that I got this book for free (I'm not sure if it still is but you can always check). Since this is considered to be a classic, there is no point for me to explain any of the stories.

This is a must for readers, folklore lovers, linguists. It gives you the language, the way of thinking etc of a whole people . Best in German, but great in English, too!

Perfect classic collection
Perfect classic collection with more than 200 tales! Certainly entertaining, I sure enjoyed it, and also was glad to see the shocking differences between these tales and the stories that we all know (i.e. Cinderella’s tale)! Thank you!
