Snow White and Rose Red Tapa dura - 2014

The Brothers Grimm (German: Brder Grimm or Die Gebrder Grimm), Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786-1859), were German academics, linguists, cultural researchers, and authors who together collected folklore. They are among the most well-known storytellers of European folk tales, and their work popularized such stories as ""Cinderella"" (Aschenputtel), ""The Frog Prince"" (Der Froschknig), ""Hansel and Gretel"" (Hnsel und Gretel), ""Rapunzel"", ""Rumpelstiltskin"" (Rumpelstilzchen), and ""Snow White"" (Schneewittchen). Their first collection of folk tales, Children's and Household Tales (Kinder- und Hausmrchen), was published in 1812.
