TheGrimm Brothers, Jacob Ludwig Karl Grimm (1785-1863) and Wilhelm Karl Grimm (1786-1859), become interested in medieval literature and the scientific investigation of language at the university of Marburg early in the nineteenth century. The Grimm brothers collected old German folktales which they published as Household Tales in 1815, before expanding it with additional fairytales and republishing in 1857 what is now known as Grimm's Fairy Tales. Both brothers worked on many other important publications during their lives, their most important work being the first volume of the standard German dictionary, Deutsches Wörterbuch, published in 1854.

What is the difference between myths legends fables and fairy tales?
All of them are stories passed down from generation to generation, either orally or through the written word. Fairy tales are now stories intended for children, involving adventure and some kind of magical element. They are in vague settings, like "Once upon a time" or "in a far-away kingdom". Cinderella, with her fairy godmother, is an example of a fairy tale; although fairy tales do not necessarily have to have fairies. (An interesting note: often the original versions of the fairy tales we know now were meant for adults. The Brothers Grimm version of Cinderella involved birds pecking out the eyes of her stepsisters.) Legends are stories that may have actually happened, often based on a historical character. An example would be stories about King Arthur and his knights, although some people have also referred to them as fairy tales. Myths are attempts made by a people to explain their origins or mysterious events. A famous example would be the story of Creation. Fables are stories with a moral lesson, usually involving animals. Aesop's Fables are arguably the most well-known fables.
