The tales captured the imagination of generations and became subject to countless re-tellings.

About the Authors
The Brothers Grimm (or Die Brüder Grimm), Jacob (January 4, 1785– September 20, 1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (February 24, 1786–December 16, 1859), were German academics, linguists, cultural researchers, lexicographers and authors who together collected and published folklore.
They are among the best-known storytellers of folk tales, popularizing stories such as Cinderella (Aschenputtel), The Frog Prince (Der Froschkönig), Hansel and Gretel (Hänsel und Gretel), Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin (Rumpelstilzchen), and Snow White (Schneewittchen). Their first collection of folk tales, Children's and Household Tales (Kinder- und Hausmärchen), was published in 1812.
In addition to writing and modifying folk tales, the brothers wrote collections of well-respected German and Scandinavian mythologies.

Project Bilingual (A division of Wolf Pup Books) is a continuing project making available great original German writers' texts along with their English translation. This edition, which offers after every original language paragraph its translation, makes both grammar and vocabulary checks as painless as possible. Idiomatic forms that could be overlooked can be easily detected.
