Grimms’ Fairy Tales, first published in 1812 by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, is one of the most beloved and widely read books in history. Drawing on German folk traditions, the brothers assembled stories including Cinderella, Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, and Rumpelstiltskin — tales that have shaped childhood imagination across generations and cultures worldwide.
