Once upon a time, there was a brother named Jacob and another named Wilhelm, and they were among the first and best-known collectors of German and European folk tales. By the end of their life, they had become responsible for immortalising our most iconic stories: Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and more. Their collections have endured since the 1800s, and are now available in more than 100 languages.
