Author Notes:The brothers Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm (1786-1859) Grimm are considered the founders of German linguistics and literary studies. They collected fairy tales that had been passed down orally and published them between 1812 and 1815 under the title Children's and Household Tales . The Grimm fairy tale collection has been part of the UNESCO Memory of the World Register since 2005.
