Jakob Grimm

Jacob Grimm was a 19th century German scholar who, along with brother Wilhelm, published Grimms' Fairy Tales, a collection famous for its children's stories. Jacob Grimm was born on January 4, 1785, in Hanau, Germany. He and younger brother Wilhelm studied German folklore and oral traditions, publishing a collection of stories that eventually became known as Grimms' Fairy Tales, and includes narratives like Cinderella and Rapunzel. A prolific author, Jacob also did pioneering research on languages and created the principles known as "Grimm's law."

Some men are born to good luck: all they do or try to do comes right— all that falls to them is so much gain-all their geese are swans-all their cards are trumps-toss them which way you will, they will always, like poor puss, alight upon their legs, and only move on so much the faster. The world may very likely not always think of them as they think of themselves, but what care they for the world? what can it know about the matter?

👍Worth reading

Grimms’ Fairy Tales is awesome! It's full of magic, talking animals, and exciting adventures. It's super fun and easy to read. Kids who love fairytales will be totally hooked.

I love how engaging and fun it is to read this book! I also like how this book teaches valuable lessons such as: friendship and courage. However, this book might be too simple for older readers and the book itself lacks diversity in characters and settings.
