The Brothers’ Grimm Fairy Tales

From the Parrish Castles collage sheet.

Children's and Household Tales (German: Kinder-und Hausmärchen) is a collection of German-origin fairy tales first published in 1812 by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, the Brothers Grimm. The collection is commonly known today as Grimm's Fairy Tales (German: Grimms Märchen).

There are over 200 tales, and although I collect vintage children's books and have many illustrations, I'll probably limit myself to about a dozen tales. Lenna Andrews is hosting a Grimm-themed swap due in late June 2008.

Cinderella

(Aschenputtel)

Cinderella (French: Cendrillon) is a popular fairy tale embodying a classic folk tale theme of unjust oppression/triumphant reward. The German versus French versions vary in certain details (like the clothes for the Ball in the French version being provided by the fairy-godmother, instead of by the birds that Cinderella had befriended in the German version).
