TALES OF THE BROTHERS GRIMM
The great German storytellers - Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm - are known and loved by the whole world. In the German city of Kassel, in the Brothers Grimm Museum, where they once worked as simple librarians and at the same time studied ancient manuscripts, their fairy tales, published in 160 languages of the world, are collected. Here you can also see the personal belongings of the storytellers, paintings by their artist brother Ludwig, manuscripts, posters and even... candies, on the wrappers of which are drawn favorite characters from the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm - Cinderella, Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel... And after all, they were just boys when they began to collect fairy tales: Wilhelm was then twenty years old, and Jacob twenty-one.
The Brothers Grimm spent their childhood in a big happy family: dad is a judge, kind, caring mother, five brothers and sister Lotta. Everyone loved each other. But the young Jacob and Wilhelm were especially attached to each other. But the children in this family were orphaned early... When the eldest of them, Jacob, turned eleven years old, his father died. The boy became the head of the family. Like a child, he cried uncontrollably at his father’s grave and, like an adult, took upon himself the care of his brothers, little sister and grief-stricken mother...
By family tradition brothers Jacob and Wilhelm became lawyers. But they were attracted by ancient folk poetry, expressed in poems and fairy tales. They studied ancient legends and traditions, the history of their native language, German mythology and grammar, and published scientific books. But paradoxically, the most serious professors who created the new science of German studies gained popularity precisely thanks to the fairy tales they collected and recorded. It was a great gift for children for all times!

The Brothers Grimm were born into the family of an official in the city of Hanau (Hanau). Their father was first a lawyer, and then dealt with legal issues for the Prince of Hanau.
Older brother,Jacob Grimm is bornFebruary 4, 1785 . (01/04/1785-09/20/1863), and the youngest -William Grimm-February 24, 1786 .(24.02.1786-
12/16/1859). The children grew up in a prosperous family, in an atmosphere of love and kindness.
In four years instead of the required eight years, the brothers completed a full course at the gymnasium. They received a law degree and served as professors at the University of Berlin. They created a “German grammar” and a dictionary of the German language.
We studied monuments, history and collected traditional folklore.
The Brothers Grimm became interested in collecting and studying folk tales back in their student years. Three collections of “Children's family tales” (1812, 1815, 1822) brought them fame as great storytellers. Among them“The Town Musicians of Bremen”, “A Pot of Porridge”, “Puss in Boots”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Snow White”, “Cinderella”, “The Golden Goose”, “The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats” - about 2000 fairy tales in total.
Some scientists believe that the Brothers Grimm did not compose fairy tales, but processed and creatively retold only those that were written down from the words of folk storytellers.
The fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm have been translated into many languages of the world, including Russian. They were reprinted many times in Russia. Subtle irony, slyness, and humor are inherent in fairy tales. Social relationships are very clearly visible in them.

Introduction to the Brothers Grimm.
Reader
How many fairy tales are there on earth -
Different, different!
How many different kings -
They are not alike either.
This one is a coward, and that one is a fool,
And this one sleeps on the throne;
One king is always a king,
The other is when wearing a crown.
The king has plenty of land
And there will be more tomorrow...
Yes, only in fairy tales are kings
More pleasant than in reality!
Reader
Two gentlemen in frock coats,
With hats and vests...
Not often seen in villages
So dressed up like that.
What path brought them here -
And, apparently, not short, -
On the square of German villages,
To fairs and gatherings?
And what good is it for them to be on the road?
Among the crowded people?
They want to find an estate
For lack of it?
Or they decided to dig a treasure,
Buried under a mountain?
So why don't they have shovels?
And shovels with you?
At the beginning of the 19th century, in small towns and villages in Germany, you could meet two young people asking local residents about something. What were they looking for? The treasure that these two gentlemen wanted to find, rummaging through ancient manuscripts and asking people in all corners of the country, was not hidden in the ground. I give this name - folk tales. Fairy tales with fairies and giants, witty simpletons, princes and princesses and, of course, kings.
This is how Jacob himself spoke about his occupation:“Now is the time to collect and save old legends, so that they do not evaporate like dew under the hot sun, do not go out like fire in a well, and do not become silent forever in the anxieties of our days.”
Traveling around native land, the brothers wrote down fairy tales from the words of rural and urban residents. Over the course of 10 years, the Brothers Grimm collected more than two hundred fairy tales.
And in 1812 they decided to print them. These books were called "Children's and Family Tales." King Thrush, the king from the Golden Mountain, the king from the fairy tale "White Snake", the king from the fairy tale " Successful trading" - that's how many of them live in fairy tales collected by the German learned brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm.
Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were born in Berlin, into the family of an official. They received a law degree in Marburg and served as professors at the University of Berlin. They created a “German grammar” and a dictionary of the German language. Their family was very friendly. Jacob and Wilhelm had three more brothers and a sister. Parents very often organized family holidays for their children.
February 24, 2016 marked the 230th anniversary of the birth of Wilhelm Grimm, the youngest of the storyteller brothers.
The fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm have been translated into many languages of the world, including Russian. In Russia, they learned the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm in the middle of the 19th century and immediately fell in love with them. The books were published in huge editions, and later films, cartoons, and performances were staged based on them.
The Brothers Grimm wrote many scientific works, but it was three collections of carefully collected German folk tales that made scientists famous. And although Wilhelm and Jacob did not compose fairy tales themselves, but only processed what was written down, as a sign of special gratitude, the folk tales preserved by them began to be called “Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm” everywhere.

Reader
It can be difficult to live
The terrible hour is coming
But a fairy tale is a thread,
Connecting us.
Not every fairy tale is good
You'll find it at first glance.
But in every fairy tale there is a wolf
Weaker than seven kids.
Let's go our own way,
And then let's see:
Ernst August - who is he?
And this? Brothers Grimm!
Who is friends with the kids?
All countries and all lands -
Elector Wilhelm II?
No! Jacob and Wilhelm!
The king disappeared long ago
Like fleeting smoke
And you will open the volume
And you will meet the Brothers Grimm.
There are not many monuments in the world that are erected not to writers, but to their literary heroes.
The heroes of the Brothers Grimm also have such a monument.
In Bremen there is a bronze monument "Bremen Town Musicians".
On the pedestal stands a donkey, on whose back is a dog, on its back is a cat, and at the very top is a rooster.
No wonder that fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm so popular, because each of them is an amazing story about love and friendship, always with a good ending. They were written by authors who themselves believed in everything sublime, beautiful and eternal: true friendship, eternal love. And this is exactly what the brothers talk about in their fairy tales.
Grimm gave their positive characters enormous power. Everyone, Snow White, Rapunzel, Cinderella, and even all 12 daughters of the king in trampled shoes are incredibly beautiful both externally and internally. These are real princesses who will become role models for girls.

Grimm's fairy tales have a lot of interesting things for boys too. In every story, brave heroes fight for justice. And no matter how insidious the evil stepmothers and powerful witches are, the heroes always emerge victorious.
The Brothers Grimm always fight against selfishness, cowardice and stupidity. Such stories are especially relevant for older children, at a time when the main values of life are being formed. These tales show how good it is to be honest, respect others and be generous with true friends.
All these stories were taken by the brothers from the folklore of their people. Grimm carefully searched for the wisest and most entertaining stories. And now you can read all these fairy tales online for free on our website.
