Grimm’s Fairy Tales, classic and influential collection of folklore by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, first published in two volumes as Kinder- und Hausmärchen (1812–15; “Children’s and Household Tales”) and later revised and enlarged seven times between 1819 and 1857. The work was first translated into English as German Popular Tales, 2 vol. (1823–26), and has since been translated under numerous titles. Grimm’s Fairy Tales comprises some 200 stories, most of which were adopted from oral sources. The best-known tales include “Hansel and Gretel,” “Snow White,” “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Sleeping Beauty,” “Tom Thumb,” “Rapunzel,” “The Golden Goose,” and “Rumpelstiltskin.” The universal appeal of these stories—whether they are considered as psychological archetypes or as fantasy narratives—inspired a myriad of print, theatrical, operatic, balletic, and cinematic adaptations.
