Grimms' Fairy Tales is a collection of German fairy stories collected by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the early nineteenth century. The tales, which include familiar stories such as "Rapunzel" and "Snow White" as well as more obscure stories like "Godfather Death" and "The Water Nixie," are often darker than modern-day fairy tales. The collection has had great influence over Western culture and led to a tradition of collecting and preserving folklore.
