The Story of the Brothers Grimm

Children's and Household's tales - that's the original title of a collection of stories that are today known as the Grimm's Fairy Tales. The Brothers Grimm devoted their life's work to collecting and preserving German folk tales. They believed these stories were the purest manifestation of German culture, and through them these tales became a part of the world's heritage. We might know their stories, but there's little we know about the brothers themselves. So today we tell the story of the Brothers Grimm.

Bro I think you did a great job at giving an overview on their lives. Their work is priceless to all humanity and honors the struggles and hopes of children in a huge way

Honestly, it's like the two brothers' story of struggles, dedication, triumph and fraternal bond could be a fairy tale in itself.

Very informative. I was hoping to find a little more about Jakob's contributions to philology and linguistics, but this is an excellent survey of the rise of the study of Folklore

This video was very well done and included a well rounded summary of the facts. Germany should create a history tour of these men.

I started listening to this, but that horrible background noise was too irritating :-( I only made it one minute in and had to stop. Sorry.
