The Tales
The Brothers Grimm began collecting folk tales around 1807, in response to a wave of awakened interest in German folklore that followed the publication of Ludwig Achim von Arnim and Clemens Brentano's folksong collection Des Knaben Wunderhorn. By 1810 the Grimms produced a manuscript collection of several dozen tales, which they had recorded by inviting storytellers to their home and transcribing what they heard. In 1812, the Brothers published a collection of 86 fairy tales in a volume titled Kinder-und Hausmarchen (Grimm's Fairy Tales). A second volume of 70 fairy tales followed in 1814. Together, with the first volume, the first edition of the collection contained 156 stories. A second edition followed in 1822. Five more editions were issued during the Grimms' lifetimes. -
