About The Brothers Grimm
The Brothers Grimm, Jakob and Wilhelm, were born in Hanau, Hesse, Germany. Jakob on Jan 4 1785 and Wilhelm on Feb 24 1786. The brothers, German academics, were best known for publishing their collections of fairy tales and folk tales. They were also involved with working in linguistics, relating to how sounds in words shift over time; which inherently brought forth Grimm’s Law on the subject.
