Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were born 1785 and 1786. In that time, Germans were passing down oral folk tales. They had never been written down, so the Grimms decided they were going to do so. They collected all the fairy tales we know today as Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and The Frog Prince. But in Germany, they were called (hang tight guys these are weird words!): Aschenputtel (Cinderella), Sneewittchen (Snow White), Dornroschen (Sleeping Beauty), and Der Froschkonig (The Frog Prince). They began working on the volume in 1807 and completed it in 1817. Thursday, December 16, 2010
