Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Grimm's Fairy Tales" by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm is a collection of fairy tales first published in 1812. Two brothers gathered these stories from oral traditions and old books to preserve German folklore and history. Starting with 86 tales, the collection grew through seven editions to include 200 stories by 1857. These tales, initially criticized as unsuitable for children, became the foundation of Western children's literature. The brothers revised and expanded their work over decades, creating a treasure of stories recognized by UNESCO.
