The Water of Life (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781496042736)

The Brothers Grimm (or Die Gebr der Grimm), Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Grimm (1786-1859), were German academics, linguists, cultural researchers, lexicographers and authors who together collected and published folklore. They are among the most well-known storytellers of folk tales, popularizing stories such as "Cinderella" "(Aschenputtel)", "The Frog Prince" ("Der Froschk nig"), "Hansel and Gretel" ("H nsel und Gretel"), "Rapunzel", "Rumpelstiltskin" " ("Rumpelstilzchen"), and "Snow White" ("Schneewittchen"). Their first collection of folk tales, Children's and Household Tales (Kinder- und Hausm rchen), was published in 1812. The Water of Life...
