About this book

Household Stories by the Brothers Grimm is the standard nineteenth-century English translation of the Kinder- und Hausmärchen by Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786-1859), with the well-known illustrations by Walter Crane. The Grimm brothers collected the tales from oral and printed German sources beginning in 1806 and published the German collection in successive editions from 1812 through 1857. This English version brings together the classic tales of Rapunzel, Hansel and Gretel, Rumpelstiltskin, the Bremen Town Musicians, the Goose Girl, Snow-White, and many others, in the form in which they entered the English-language tradition. The translation was the introduction to the Grimm corpus for generations of English-speaking readers and shaped the visual and narrative templates of later children's literature, theatre, and film.
