Biographies

There is no one, the whole world over, who doesn’t enjoy a good story, and many of our best-loved traditional tales have been passed down through countless generations to the present day. This is especially true of the Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm, including such classics as “The Elves and the Shoemaker”, “Cinderella”, “Hansel and Gretel” and “Snow White”. But who were these famous brothers, and how did two studious young men who were destined to be Lawyers become perhaps the Greatest Storytellers the world has ever known?

All these questions and many more will be answered in this fascinating journal, looking at the lives and works of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, and the magical quality of their unique literary talent.
