Also known as "Bratya Grimm. Skazki."

Looking for a sweet, soothing tale to waft you toward dreamland? Look somewhere else. The stories collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the early 1800s serve up life as generations of central Europeans knew it—capricious. The two brothers, patriots determined to preserve Germanic folktales, were only accidental entertainers. Once they saw how the tales bewitched young readers, the Grimms, and editors a plenty after them, started "fixing" things. Tales gradually got softer, sweeter, and primarily moral. Yet all the polishing never rubbed away the solid heart of the stories, now read and loved in more than 160 languages.
