In this video, we will listen to the book "Grimm's Fairy Tales" by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm.

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, known as the Brothers Grimm, were German academics and philologists who dedicated their lives to collecting and preserving folklore. Born in the late 18th century, the brothers initially studied law but soon turned their attention to the study of linguistics, literature, and mythology. Their passion for preserving German folklore led to the publication of "Kinder- und Hausmärchen" (Children's and Household Tales) in 1812, later known as "Grimm's Fairy Tales."

"Grimm's Fairy Tales" is a collection of traditional European folk tales that the brothers compiled and edited over many years. The book includes some of the world's most beloved stories, each filled with adventure, magic, and timeless wisdom. Some notable tales include:

"Cinderella" - A mistreated young woman attends the royal ball with the help of her fairy godmother and captures the heart of the prince.
"Snow White" - A young princess, pursued by a jealous queen, finds refuge with seven dwarfs but must beware of poisoned apples.
"Rumpelstiltskin" - A miller's daughter promises her firstborn child to a mysterious dwarf in exchange for his help in spinning straw into gold.
"Hansel and Gretel" - Two siblings outwit a wicked witch who lures them into her gingerbread house.
"The Frog Prince" - A princess makes a promise to a frog, who reveals himself to be a transformed prince.
"Rapunzel" - A maiden with long hair is locked in a tower by a witch but eventually finds love and freedom.
These tales, and many others, reflect the rich oral tradition of storytelling in Europe and offer lessons about bravery, kindness, and the consequences of greed and cruelty. The Brothers Grimm initially published their tales with the intent of preserving German folklore, but their collection has since transcended national borders and remains a cornerstone of children's literature.
