 GRIMM`S BROTHERS

The brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were German scholars known for their fairy tales and for their work in the study of different languages, which included the creation of "Grimm's law."

Wilhelm was physically weaker but was a somewhat warmer person and more interested in music and literature. He was responsible for the pleasant style of their collection of fairy tales.

The Grimm brothers were the most important of these early language and folklore romantic historians.
