Jacob Grimm (1785-1863) and his brother Wilhelm (1786-1859) were philologists and folklorists.
Together with the well-known Tales of \'Rapunzel\', \'The Goose Girl\', Sleeping Beauty\', \'Hansel and Gretel\' and \'Snow White\', there are the darker Tales such as \'Death\'s Messengers\' which deserve to be better.
The brothers rediscovered a host of Fairy tales, telling of princes and princesses in their castles, witches in their towers and forests, of giants and dwarfs, of fabulous animals and dark deeds.
