Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Household Stories by the Brothers Grimm" by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm is a collection of fairy tales first published in 1812. Two brothers, driven by tragedy and hardship to preserve their cultural heritage, gathered ancient folk stories from friends and old books across Germany. What began as 86 tales grew through seven editions into 200 stories that would shape Western children's literature forever. These weren't always the gentle bedtime stories we know today—early editions sparked controversy for content deemed unsuitable for young readers.
