Grimm Jacob Books
Jacob Grimm was a pioneering German philologist, jurist, and mythologist. Renowned for his groundbreaking work on linguistic history, he is celebrated for uncovering fundamental principles of language change. His scholarly pursuits also delved deeply into the rich tapestry of German mythology, contributing significantly to its understanding. Alongside his brother, he became widely known for collecting and publishing traditional folk tales, preserving them for generations.
Merry, dark or magical, these classic tales never fail to inspire and enthral. From the land of fantastical castles, vast lakes and deep forests, the Brothers Grimm collected a treasury of entrancing folk and fairy stories full of giants and dwarfs, witches and princesses, magic beasts and cunning boys. From favourites such as The Frog-Prince and Hansel and Gretel to the delights of Ashputtel or Old Sultan, all are vivid with timeless mystery.
