The Elves and the Shoemaker
(Little Golden Books)

JACOB (1785-1863) and WILHELM GRIMM (1786-1859) were German academics, cultural researchers, lexicographers, and authors who together collected and published folklore during the 19th century. They popularized stories such as "Cinderella," "The Frog Prince," "The Goose-Girl," "Hansel and Gretel," "Rumpelstiltskin," "Sleeping Beauty," and "Snow White." Their first collection of folk tales, Children's and Household Tales, was published in 1812.
