Jacob Grimm was a 19th century German scholar who, along with brother Wilhelm, published Grimms' Fairy Tales, a collection famous for its children's stories. Jacob Grimm was born on January 4, 1785, in Hanau, Germany. He and younger brother Wilhelm studied German folklore and oral traditions, publishing a collection of stories that eventually became known as Grimms' Fairy Tales, and includes narratives like Cinderella and Rapunzel. A prolific author, Jacob also did pioneering research on languages and created the principles known as "Grimm's law."

Quotes

Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted2 years ago

Menna Abu Zahrahas quoted2 years ago
There was a certain village wherein no one lived but really rich peasants, and just one poor one, whom they called the little peasant.
