Cultural researchers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm initially began collecting German folktales because they were interested in documenting a national culture and literature. Their first collection, Children’s and Household Tales (1812), included 86 stories. The next edition had over 200. The brothers also recorded German and Scandanavian mythologies and in 1808 began a dictionary of the German language which remained incomplete during their lifetimes. The Grimms’ tales include favorites like “Cinderella,” “Rapunzel,” “Snow White,” and “The Frog Prince.” Last year Philip Pullman collected many of these tales in a new critically acclaimed volume.
